Saturation increases the intensity of all colors uniformly, which can make images look unnatural if overdone. Vibrance is a smarter adjustment that primarily affects muted colors while protecting skin tones and already-saturated colors from becoming oversaturated. For natural-looking results, use vibrance for general color enhancement and reserve saturation for specific artistic effects.

Color cast is usually corrected using Temperature and Tint controls: 1) Temperature: Move left (cooler/blue) to counteract yellow/orange cast from incandescent lighting, or right (warmer/yellow) to counteract blue cast from daylight or flash, 2) Tint: Move left (green) to counteract magenta cast, or right (magenta) to counteract green cast from fluorescent lighting, 3) Use the Auto Enhance feature first - it often provides a good starting point, 4) For precise correction, look at neutral areas (whites, grays) in your image and adjust until they appear truly neutral.

Highlights and Shadows are exposure recovery tools for balancing your image: 1) Reduce Highlights: When bright areas are overexposed or too harsh, lowering highlights recovers detail in sky, reflections, or bright clothing, 2) Increase Shadows: When dark areas are too black or lack detail, raising shadows reveals information in underexposed areas, 3) Professional tip: Reduce highlights first, then increase shadows to achieve balanced exposure, 4) Combine with Whites/Blacks for fine-tuning: Whites affects the brightest whites, Blacks affects the darkest blacks, 5) These adjustments work best on RAW files but are effective on JPEG too.

These are advanced tools for enhancing image definition: 1) Clarity: Increases mid-tone contrast, making images appear sharper and more defined. Positive values add 'punch' to landscapes and architecture, while negative values create a soft, dreamy effect for portraits, 2) Dehaze: Specifically designed to cut through atmospheric haze, fog, or smog. It increases contrast and saturation in areas that appear flat due to atmospheric conditions, 3) Usage tips: Use clarity sparingly on portraits (can emphasize skin imperfections), apply dehaze to landscape photos taken in misty conditions, 4) Both effects are applied using advanced algorithms that analyze local contrast rather than global adjustments.

Absolutely! Your privacy is our top priority: 1) Local processing: All color adjustments are performed locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas API and WebGL shaders, 2) No uploads: Your images never leave your device or get sent to our servers, 3) No storage: We don't store, log, or access your images in any way, 4) Secure session: All data is cleared when you close your browser or leave the page, 5) No tracking: We don't track your image editing activities or analyze your photos. You can confidently edit personal or professional photos knowing they remain completely private and secure.

Yes, our tool offers multiple ways to manage your settings: 1) Built-in presets: Choose from Portrait, Landscape, Vintage, and Dramatic categories with professionally crafted adjustments, 2) Auto-save: Your last adjustment settings are automatically remembered for your next session, 3) Custom presets: Save your favorite adjustment combinations for future use with similar photos, 4) Reset options: Individual slider reset (double-click) or Reset All to start over, 5) Before/After comparison: Toggle between original and adjusted versions to evaluate your changes. This workflow helps maintain consistency across multiple photos and speeds up your editing process.

Our tool supports comprehensive format compatibility with high-quality output: 1) Input formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF files up to 50MB each, 2) Color spaces: sRGB, Adobe RGB, and P3 display profiles are properly handled, 3) Bit depth: Maintains original bit depth (8-bit, 16-bit) where possible, 4) Output quality: JPEG quality set to 95% by default, PNG maintains lossless quality, WebP offers excellent compression with minimal quality loss, 5) Resolution: No downscaling - your image maintains its original dimensions and DPI, 6) Metadata: EXIF data is preserved including camera settings, GPS location (if present), and creation date.

Understanding slider interactions helps achieve professional results: 1) Exposure affects overall brightness but maintains highlight/shadow detail better than brightness alone, 2) Highlights/Shadows work in conjunction with Whites/Blacks: adjust Highlights/Shadows first for major corrections, then fine-tune with Whites/Blacks, 3) Vibrance and Saturation: Vibrance is safer for overall enhancement, add saturation only for creative effects, 4) Temperature and Tint work together for color balance: adjust temperature first, then fine-tune with tint, 5) Order matters: Start with exposure correction, then color balance, followed by creative enhancements like clarity or dehaze, 6) Non-destructive editing: All adjustments are applied in sequence without degrading the original image data.
