Color correction is important for maximum quality, but you also have to remember that overdoing it is worse than not correcting in the first place.

Personally I love using curves for color correcting. It's easy and fast

Don't fuck with hue or saturation, just do a gentle contrast thing (per RGB channel, not on luminosity!) with curves like #3 said. This is what I do with paint.net:

bottom: clean (hopefully)
middle: luminosity
top: per channel
doing it per rgb channel thing changes the saturation along with the luminosity, but it's foolproof and impossible to fuck up with overtweaking (orange gullywash anyone?) and has a really nice dynamic effect so that it only happens to affect important colors
