What Is Color Correction?

Color correction is the process of adjusting and enhancing the colors in a photo to make it look more natural, balanced, and visually appealing. If a photo looks too dark, too bright, or has an unnatural color tint (like a yellow or blue hue), color correction helps fix these problems.
