Alec,
   Color Mechanic is a useful quickfix tool for doing small or large 
changes that would take Photoshop several operations to do the same 
thing, but just as well of course. I find that I use it quite a lot now 
that I have got used to how to work it. By selecting multiple points 
and only shifting one, it's possible to alter one area of say blue 
without affecting all the others.
   Maybe my Photoshop technique was not up to scratch but I have found 
that using Color Mechanic is easier and has produced very good results 
faster. I've just tried it on a 64mb image with very good results.
   A friend of mine has used it on 25mb images scanned from fairly 
grainy negatives, 800 ASA, and found that it changed some pixels and 
not others, producing a more mottled effect, so it's not a magic fix 
every time.
   They do a trial download, to see how it works, but you can't save 
the altered image from the filter window back into Photoshop to see the 
real effect on the fullsize image without paying for it, but it's not 
expensive anyway.
