It also features built-in mechanisms for hiding image noise, camouflaging overexposed areas, keeping chromacity constant, fixing chopped histograms, and increasing the number of colors in photos.ColorWasher provides four different automatic methods for achieving perfect results with photos that have a wide range of different color problems. Even more powerful is the semiautomatic sample-area feature , which lets the user select a white or gray image area for correcting the color cast. Additionally there are twelve different split-view modes that enables the user to visually perform photo corrections with the help of color or exposure stripes and grids that are laid over the image. The manual controls include source and target color boxes, three sliders adjustable to five different color models, a color picker, a color dialog, and a lightness balance button. Optionally, manually enter the color temperature of the photo or film type used as well as open and save color presets .As far as contrast and exposure are concerned, ColorWasher offers Auto Contrast and Exposure Fix features, which can be set in five steps from mild to extreme. In addition to these two automatic features, adjust the contrast and exposure manually and amplify or suppress the highlights, midtones, or shadows in an image. There is also an optional feature for keeping the chromacity constant while correcting contrast and brightness. ColorWasher combines precision, speed, and ease of use.
