corrector
One who amends
A corrector is someone or something that corrects—fixes errors, adjusts deviations, or sets things right.
The term appears in formal or technical contexts: a corrector of proofs reviews text for errors, a color corrector adjusts visual tones.
In optical systems, a corrector is a lens or plate that compensates for aberrations.
