Planet Imagery and Color Correction

Questions

Does Planet apply color correction to its images manually or automatically?

Answer

Color correction is applied automatically only to visual images (not analytic, etc..). PlanetScope Scenes are adjusted to top of atmosphere reflectance before the color correction curve is applied which means we are adjusting for lighting  (ie. sun elevation). Planet does this in order to have optimized imagery for global consistency.
