PhixitCorrect the light and color of a photo
Most photos need a few small fixes: a touch brighter, a little less orange, more detail in the shadows. Phixit gives you the full set of light and color controls, with a live histogram so you can see what you are doing.

How to color correct a photo
- Choose or drop a photo. It opens with the Light controls ready.
- Start with Auto, then adjust Exposure for overall brightness and Contrast for punch. Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks fine-tune the extremes.
- Under Color, set Temperature and Tint, or pick a gray point. Save from Export.
Good to know
- Work from top to bottom: light first, then color, then detail. Each step is easier once the one before is right.
- Double-click any slider value to reset it.
- Hold Hold for before to compare with the original at any time.
Questions
What order should I adjust things in?
Exposure first, then contrast, then highlights and shadows, then white balance, then saturation. Each step is easier to judge once the one before is right.
What does the histogram show?
How many pixels sit at each brightness, from black on the left to white on the right. A pile-up against either edge means detail is being lost.
Are my edits permanent?
Not until you save. Every slider can be changed or reset, and undo steps back through everything.
