Intro to color adjustments in Pixelmator Pro for Mac

Use the controls in the Color Adjustments pane to make corrective or creative changes to brightness, contrast, and color in your images.

A photo in the canvas, with the Color Adjustments pane open showing controls for modifying various parameters of color and exposure.

From the Color Adjustments pane, you can:

Adjust color and exposure attributes like white balance, hue, saturation, and vibrance, as well as essential tonal and visual settings like exposure, highlights, and contrast.
Use the Auto Enhance feature to analyze and instantly optimize color, lighting, and contrast in your photos.
Use the Match Colors feature to apply the mood and color palette of any reference image to your image. Or apply a LUT for instant color grading and consistency across other photo and video editing apps.
For more advanced image editing, apply a suite of professional color grading tools, including curve controls, color wheels, levels, and collections of adjustment preset looks like Classic Films, Vintage, and Black & White.
Apply finishing adjustments such as vignettes and film grain to your image.
Use advanced sharpening tools to prepare your image for print or display on screens.

You can apply color adjustments directly to a layer in your project, or you can insert a special layer called a color adjustments layer, which changes the appearance of all layers below it in the Layers sidebar.

Note: Texture-Aware Algorithm is turned on by default and in most cases greatly improves the efficacy of color adjustments. To turn it off click at the top of the Color Adjustments pane, then choose Use Texture-Aware Algorithm.
