I use it as part of my standard repertoire. I find that it works best with
neutrals, second best with skin tones. I haven't found a way to make
"foliage" work very well yet, and I haven't tried "sky". On pictures with
any neutral tones in them, it can be a three-click miracle.
I use the pro version, mainly for its ability to do corrections on
16-bit/channel images, leaving more of the data intact for other Photoshop
manipulations.
iCorrect is the only plug-in I've ever bought that I thought was worth the
price (and I paid full price!) I wouldn't leave home without it.
