ColorCastFX

ColorCastFX is a photo editing tool designed to correct the color and lighting of your digital images. The app is specifically calibrated to remedy a series of problems that some cameras are known to have.

Heavy shadows and wrong colors are only a few of the most common issues when taking landscape pictures. ColorCastFX can recover details when fill-in flash is not used or when the camera underexposes the closest objects.

The interface is easy to use and intuitive, with few buttons and self-explanatory features. ColorCastFX comes with preset values for a few camera makes and models, although it was mostly tested on Canon devices. However, many digital cameras have the same problems, so the software allows you to fiddle with most pictures on your disks.

Another feature of this app is the ability to create different presets which you can easily save and apply later on pictures you want to alter.

ColorCastFX allows you to preview the original and modified versions of your photographs after loading the files, as the default settings immediately apply to the image. Also, when further changes to lighting and coloring occur, you can notice them in real-time. The software allows you to zoom in on the picture in order to see more details and compare the “before” and “after” versions with ease.

The application supports various file formats, such as JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF, TGA and PCG, but it can’t load RAW file formats.

ColorCastFX is a basic tool for adjusting commonly known problems of your pictures, but it doesn't give you much room to play with. Nevertheless, even if the number of features isn't as varied as in other similar programs, ColorCastFX solves your immediate issues.
