Change image saturation when colors are too dull, too intense, or need to be removed. The editor has three controls: Saturation, Vibrance, and Mix.
Saturation
Saturation runs from 0% to 500%, with 100% as the original image.
- below
100%: colors move toward gray 0%: grayscale- above
100%: every color becomes more intense
Pushing Saturation too high affects every color equally, so skin can turn orange and skies can turn neon. Use smaller saturation moves when the image contains people, food, product colors, or brand colors.
Vibrance
Vibrance targets muted colors more than vivid ones. It is better than raw Saturation when a photo needs more color but already has some strong areas.
Use Vibrance first for landscapes, portraits, and mixed scenes. Then add a small Saturation increase only if the whole image still needs more color.
Negative Vibrance can calm the strongest colors without making the whole image gray.
Mix
Mix blends the adjusted image with the original. Set a stronger Saturation or Vibrance value, then lower Mix if the result looks overdone.
At 100%, the full adjustment applies. At 50%, the result is halfway between the source and the adjusted image.
