Indeed it is good to see Photoshop bring features that even the beginner/intermediate user can benefit from. I was a bit concerned about the software bringing in these "auto fix" features but I don't that is really an issue. These tools are highly configurable and anything that saves time with good results must be a good thing.
BTWAfter Effects is a standalone program used by video compositors, although now photoshop does have video editing capability as well.
