Adjust an image’s color using the Vibrance slider in Lightroom
If you want to adjust the colors in an image without oversaturating colors that are already saturated, use the Vibrance slider in Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™. Unlike the Saturation slider, the Vibrance slider won’t affect colors that are already saturated. The Vibrance slider is a great choice for any images containing people, as it won’t affect skin tone as much as the Saturation slider will. Watch this short video tutorial to learn more.
