I think “color grading”, “color correction”, “photo retouching”, “image editing”, etc. are all pretty terrible names. Unfortunately there isn’t a great alternative name.

The old term was “printing”, but to a layman that now connotes pressing a button to get an inkjet or whatever.

You can certainly come up with automatic operators which look better than “hard clip everything brighter than 1.0”.

I agree though that there should be more work put into making usable tools for artists instead of “let’s magically fix the picture in one click”.
