Here's an excerpt from "Adobe Photoshop CS One-on-One" by Deke McClelland:
"I'll start with the most basic command, Auto Contrast, and work my way up:
Auto Contrast locates the darkest color in an image and makes it as dark as it can be without changing its color. It then makes the lightest color as light as possible. For example, if the darkest color is blue and the lightest color yellow...then blue becomes darker blue and the yellow a lighter yellow. The color balance remains unchanged-just what you want when an image is properly colored but not at all what you want when it's not. (Me: basically it won't fix color tints for you)
Auto Levels makes no attempt to preserve colors. Instead, it analyzes each color channel independently and makes the darkest color in each channel black and the lightest color white. The result is more often than not a shift in color balance. This can be a good thing if the color balance needs fixing. But Auto Levels may go too far, replacing one color cast with another. In the example below, the cast shifts from pink to blue.
Auto Color can be a bit slower because it tries to do more. Like Auto Levels, it deepens shadows and lightens highlights on a channel-by-channel basis. But where Auto Levels may shift shadows and highlights from one color to another, Auto Color tries to change them to neutral grays. Auto Color also evaluates the midtones in an image. It finds all the midtones that are trending toward gray and then leeches away the color. Given the current state of technology, this is the best method for automatically correcting the color cast of a photo.
Because it attempts to remove color casts from all three regions of an image-shadows, highlights, and midtones-Auto Color frequently outperforms the rest of the Auto pack but it's be no means foolproof...decide for yourself which one delivers the most desirable results.
