Scancafe is a web-based service that realizes auto correction techniques just can’t make the individual, subjective, image-specific decisions necessary to make images look their best. Face recognition is a step in the right direction, but until AI can determine exactly what is in a photograph, and make image specific decisions based on that understanding, human analysis will always win. Hence Dan Margulis’ Applied Color Theory in Photoshop classes continue to be worth the money.

The Buffalo Theory
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory
to his buddy Norm. and here's how he explained it:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural
selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate
as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we
know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest
brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates
the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient
machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
