Saturation

 

The Saturation tool tones an image by changing the saturation and contrast of neighboring pixels. The tool works in two modes: in Saturate mode colors become more saturated, in Desaturate mode colors become less saturated.

Adjust the tool's parameters in the Settings Panel (Settings Panel). To change a parameter, enter a numerical value in the parameter's field and press Enter or adjust the slider.

  • Diameter (1-500). Size of the Saturation tool.
  • Hardness (0-100). The softness of the tool's edge, where the effect is applied partially. At higher values the boundary between treated and untreated areas is more distinct; at lower values the transition between these areas is processed more smoothly.

    Hardness = 10% Hardness = 85%

  • Strength (1-100). The strength of the effect. The higher the value, the stronger the change.

To change saturation in a straight line, pick a starting point by left-clicking the mouse, then, while pressing Shift, move the cursor to the desired end point and release Shift. If Shift is not released, then a new line will be drawn to each point where the mouse is clicked.
