What each adjustment does

Brightness makes the whole image lighter or darker. Contrast increases or reduces the difference between light and dark areas, making a photo punchier or flatter. Saturation controls how vivid the colours are — turn it down toward grey or up for bold, intense colour. Grayscale removes colour gradually until the photo is fully black and white, while Sepia adds a warm brown tone for a classic, aged look.

Blur softens the image, useful for dreamy effects or hiding background detail. Hue rotate shifts every colour around the colour wheel for creative or cool/warm grading. Invert flips colours to their opposite, creating a film-negative effect. Combining a few of these is how the presets work: Vintage mixes sepia with softer contrast, Cool shifts the hue toward blue, and Vivid boosts saturation and contrast for a vibrant, social-ready photo.
