Adjust color saturation in areas of an image in Pixelmator Pro on iPad
Use the Saturate and Desaturate tools to make colors more or less saturated in specific areas of an image. These advanced tools can adjust color intensity across all tonal values or within specific tonal ranges to fix exposure issues, such as a sky that lacks blue, or shadows that retain a strong color cast.
In Pixelmator Pro on iPad, select a layer in the Layers sidebar.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the menu bar, then choose Tools > Retouch > Saturate, or Desaturate.
In the toolbar at the bottom, adjust the settings:
Brush Size: Drag the slider to change brush size.
Softness: Tap
, then drag the slider to soften brush edges for blending.
Strength: Tap
In the toolbar at the bottom, tap
All: Affects shadows, midtones, and highlights equally.
Shadows: Affects only the darkest areas.
Midtones: Affects only the middle tones.
Highlights: Affects only the brightest areas.
Drag in the canvas over the areas you want to saturate or desaturate.
