Vibrance, Saturation, And Color Intensity
Talking about vibrance versus saturation, Antoine commented in the previous article here that another saturation tool – “Color intensity” in the “Match color” function – was often more useful to boost colors than the Vibrance tool or the Saturation tool.
Here is the result of using the Color Intensity tool, and I believe you can see that it does a good job. In case it is not clear, I made a composite image with the ‘normal’ image at the top and the adjusted image at the bottom.
The leather button looks a bit rich in color, but then I slid the slider all the way to the right for the test. But it’s clear that generally speaking the lightness across the images has been lifted nicely.
Normal and High Setting for Color Intensity
To find the tool, go to Image > Adjust > Match Color. That brings up this menu:
Color Intensity Slider

Interesting, for those photos that we couldn’t get the best color, it could be really useful. I’m now trying to learn more about Photoshop so this kind of tips really help

Glad it helps
Another tool I need to dig into. I’ve become complacent by using Lightroom and its uber user-friendly interface. With buttons like “save statistics” I get a wee bit nervous.
‘Save statistics’ – where is that? Your Zenfolio gallery looks great. Maybe you would want to think about a guest post here on Photographworks? Just hit the Write for Us tab.
