AUTO COLOR Auto colors are adjusted in order to get natural looks to your photo. The tonal values of red, green, and blue are redistributed and unwanted color casts are corrected by neutralizing the mid-tones in the picture.
CONTRAST AND BRIGHTNESS
Brightness is the overall darkness or lightness in an image & contrast is the difference in brightness. Adjusting these can turn a dull image into a high impact photograph.
SATURATION AND HUE
Hue allows you to change the color & saturation allows making the picture more colorful. If we increase saturation, the image will be more colorful.
LEVELS AND CURVES
By adjusting the levels, the amount of red, green, and blue, is altered. Curves allow you to alter the highlights & shadows in the image. Avoid them to the professional picture editing services.
SHADOWS AND HIGHLIGHTS
A highlight is a bright spot that is created by intense illumination & shadow is a dark spot in a photo. The brighter spot can be darkened & the darkened spot can be brightened by adjusting it with these two processes.
TONING AND DE-SATURATING De-saturating can turn a color photo into black & white and toning can add color to a black & white photo.
