In this paper I will compare four popular tools for digital color correction by listing their advantages, flaws and cases in which they are best used. I will put a strong emphasis on the ration of work speed and quality of said tools, since one of the main characteristics of these types of programms is the speed and the simplicity of use, in contrast to a large number of options and a significant requirement of technical knowledge. In order to better illustrate color correction, I will link it to other phases of video production using storyboards as an example to exhibit the interdependance of preproduction, production and postproduction. I will also present color correction as a profession by explaining its origins, analyzing the current work methods and best practises, suggesting possible ways of expansion and improvement, and predict upcoming trends. The explanation on the current work practises will be supplemented by an interview with an expert of this profession, in order to better define the problems and challenges of color correction which are not necessarily of a technical nature. In all appropriate chapters, I will demonstrate mentioned processes with my own practical examples.
