PhixitMake the colors in a photo pop
Cloudy days and phone cameras can leave colors looking washed out. Vibrance strengthens the dull colors and leaves already-strong ones and skin tones alone, so the photo comes alive without looking fake.

How to make colors pop
- Choose or drop a photo. It opens with Vibrance raised to 45.
- Adjust Vibrance to taste. Use Saturation if you want every color boosted by the same amount.
- Save from Export.
Good to know
- Negative Saturation gives a muted, filmic look; all the way down gives black and white.
- To boost one color only, such as the blue of the sea, use the Color mixer.
- Strong colors look stronger on phone screens than on most monitors. Check on the screen your audience will use.
Questions
What is the difference between vibrance and saturation?
Saturation boosts every color equally. Vibrance boosts muted colors most and protects skin tones and already-strong colors.
Why do faces turn orange when I boost saturation?
Skin is mostly orange, so plain saturation exaggerates it. Vibrance avoids that.
Can I make one color stand out?
Yes. In the Color mixer, raise the saturation of that color band and lower the others.
