Putting Polish into Photoshop
Photoshop's plugins are good and can definitely be used to achieve
similar results. However, Colormancer improves upon built-in Photoshop
filters in the following areas:
1- No color shifts when adjusting brightness and contrast
A Curves adjustment on RGB values can desaturate highlights and
increase saturation in other tonal ranges. Colormancer is designed
to avoid this color shifting by maintaining a constant ratio between
the red, green, and blue values of each pixel. The result is more
natural looking colors when brightness or contrast is pushed
hard.

2- Saturation that avoids noise and neon colors
When it comes to adjusting saturation, existing tools tend to incorrectly
separate saturation from luminance. This causes changes in saturation
to 'bleed' into the luminance channel. These errors cause
visibly increased noise and causes colors to appear neon
as shown in the comparison below.
Colormancer avoids the added noise by following color science principles.
It performs intermediate calculations in the linear light domain,
thus maintaining constant luminance (per the color science definition).

3- Highly Targeted Color Correction
Colormancer comes bundled with Selective Color, a filter that allows
color corrections to be limited based on color (along yellow-blue
and cyan-red axes), luminance, and color strength. (Photoshop's
Hue/Saturation adjustment cannot isolate based on luminance.) This
plugin can pick apart the image to only affect the hue, saturation,
or luminance of very specific user-selectable color ranges.
The Bottom Line
Photoshop's existing plugins are good tools and can definitely
produce good results. If you are satisfied with the quality
of Photoshop's built-in tools, then please don't buy our product.
But if good simply isn't good enough for you (or your clients!),
then you need to make sure you can deliver the highest quality images.
