There is Epical Claro which is automatic image enhancement/correction that
is based on an analysis of the individual image. Parameters such as contrast
are quantified and decisions for the modifications are based on the
determined value. What happens is Claro converts the image to RGB (if it
isn't already). The RGB space you can set as a fixed space (and convert
tagged images to) or you can have Claro manipulate the image in the tagged
RGB color space. Claro then takes into account the destination color space
and any present EXIF information. Once the image is in RGB the various
values are determined and the adjustments take place and converted to the
destination space.
Is it final color? Not for everyone, for some it's first round only. But it
is automatic and intelligent. We're not just smashing levels or curves
together like in PhotoShop and we're not applying static actions.
Aren't some of the color servers like Alwan "intelligent" in how they
determine how to convert colors?

Well, I published about 20 papers in AI-related research, so I am
biased. But here is a short list of everyday things which come from
AI:
- automatic translation (eg. Google translate)
- speech recognition on voice servers
- computer dictation
- OCR (software that reads text that is printed)
- handwriting recognition (tablet PCs, phones)
- chinese/japanese gestural character entry and recognition
- chess playing computer software
- First person shooter monsters and computer opponents
- the software that banks and hedge funds use to screw normal
investors by trading ahead of them.
- the software used in places like Irak to keep drones stable when
they patrol so that human pilots can make the important decisions
- the software used to detect patterns in communications and decide
that you should be checked carefully at the airport and taken to a
back room
I think that some automation of color management will happen. Consumer
cameras can now do a lot of automatic colorand tone adjustment which
pro cameras cannot, and quite soon equivalent capabilities will spill
over into the cheaper web and print publication arena. Pro
photographers will get help with local inkjet printing soon, CMYK may
wait until the last print trade union collapses.
