Adjust a photo
Brighten, warm or soften a picture with seven settings, without leaving the designer.
Photo adjustments change how a picture looks without editing the file. Reach for them to match product photos to your brand, for example a little more warmth or contrast.
Adjust the picture
Open the image
Select the image layer. In the Fill section, click the picture thumbnail (Edit image).
Change the values
Under Adjustments, type a value for each setting. Every one runs from -100 to 100, and 0 means unchanged.
| Setting | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Exposure | Overall brightness |
| Contrast | The gap between light and dark areas |
| Saturation | How strong the colours are |
| Temperature | Cooler or warmer tones |
| Tint | Shifts toward green or toward magenta |
| Highlights | The brightest areas |
| Shadows | The darkest areas |
To undo an adjustment, set it back to 0. When every value is 0, the picture is as it was.
Image filters
Below Adjustments, the Image filter section offers None, Halftone CMYK, Halftone dots, Image dithering, Lens distortion and Water. Picking one adds a filter fill right above the image, and it filters the photo as the box frames it. Choose None to remove it. Its settings are in the filter's own fill row. See Shader fills.
The adjustments belong to the layer, not to one photo. When a row brings its own picture, the same values apply to it. Keep them small, because a value that suits the sample photo can be too strong for another.
Try it
- Select Product Image on the sale card and open Edit image.
- Set Contrast to
10and Saturation to10. - Set both back to
0and compare the two looks.
You should see the colours become a little stronger and then return to the original.
