MintGradeCorrection aims to make a photo believable; grading deliberately changes its look. Knowing which job you are doing prevents a stylish filter from hiding a basic lighting problem.
A practical way to approach it
Correct exposure and white balance
Find a neutral reference such as a gray wall or white shirt and remove unwanted casts. Keep shadow detail and avoid clipping useful highlights.
Grade only after that
Use a tone curve or color wheels to set the final mood. One portrait might stay neutral while an evening travel shot benefits from warmer highlights.
Test the order
Temporarily disable the look. If faces and neutrals are still wrong, return to correction before finishing.
One limitation to remember
Do not interpret a creative warm sunset as a color cast that must be completely neutralized.
