Saturation adjustment
The process of increasing or decreasing the intensity and purity of colors within an image.
Core Principles
- hue: The specific color wavelength or type.
- Saturation: The concentration, vividness, or purity of a color.
- Luminance: The perceived brightness or lightness of a color.
Technical Application
- Targeted HSL Adjustments: Utilizing the color-mixer panel in Adobe Lightroom Classic to manipulate specific color channels (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance) independently.
- Selective Saturation: Implementing precision adjustments to specific color ranges rather than applying global saturation changes, allowing for more controlled color character.
