Why is it that when I use Auto Correction one photo at a time my pictures turn out great, every single time, BUT when I do a mass auto auto correction they turn out bad and nothing like when I do them one by one?

It took about 10 hours to upload 2000 pictures from a shoot I did yesterday, and now after auto correcting all of then automatically I will have to delete them, upload them again and then auto correct them one by one.

    Kinda need to know more about your process and flow. Also, software used, etc..

    I really, really recommend using your own software to correct - our auto tool in color effects is not super sophisticated - yet.

    We *love* I2E - give it a look in ClubSmug :)

    Thanks, Andy. I'm going to try it right now.

    It was just weird that one at a time, they looked awesome, but when I tried to do the bulk option, no good.

    Hmmm... that's actually a bug. Sorry!

    I notified our engineers, but no promises on a quick fix.

    i2e looks pretty good, but no Mac support? headscratch.gif

    if the bug can be fixed, that would be amazing, because the correction on smugmug is perfectly fine for me

    i2e rocks.. I run ALL my images through it.. I wish it was FASTER and allowed a few more options for file management, but, it's excellent image quality.
