- Let's move to talking about the saturation…or color of an image.…Now I'm gonna continue to walk through…the essential steps of the image and along the way…we may need to make a few exposure adjustments.…But hopefully you just finished watching the section…all about exposure.…So I'm gonna go a bit quick through these adjustments.…If you skipped that section,…make sure you go back and watch it…because the first thing to fixing color is fixing exposure.…Once you've got exposure under control…there's some great adjustments…to solve color problems as well.…Lets take a look at an image where…some saturation would really help.…
In this case we've got…a landscape shot with a desert flower…and the colors just aren't as vivid as I'd like.…Let's go into editing mode and we'll go to the adjustments…and I'll quickly click the auto button for light.…That helped quite a bit.…We mainly restored the black points…so we had a nice crisp black…and took advantage of recovering…the highlights just a little more.…Now you'll notice if I toggle that on and off…
