Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fix a dark photo?

Increase the brightness slider to lighten dark photos. You may also want to slightly increase contrast to maintain depth after brightening. If the photo looks washed out, a small saturation boost helps.

What is saturation?

Saturation controls color intensity. Increase for more vivid, punchy colors; decrease for muted, desaturated tones. 0% saturation creates a completely grayscale image.

What is contrast?

Contrast is the difference between light and dark areas. Higher contrast makes images pop with defined blacks and whites; lower contrast creates a softer, flatter look often used for a film aesthetic.

How do I fix yellow indoor photos?

Indoor photos often have a yellow/orange tint from artificial lighting. Use the color temperature slider (if available) to shift toward blue, or slightly decrease saturation and increase brightness for a cleaner look.

What order should I adjust settings?

Generally: 1) Fix brightness first (overall exposure), 2) Adjust contrast (depth and punch), 3) Fine-tune saturation (color intensity). This workflow gives you the most control.
