Image Adjustment: tweak brightness, contrast, and color across a batch
Adjusts the look of every image in your batch — brightness, contrast, color channels, saturation, vibrance, and hue. Eight sliders, one consistent result.
Image Adjustment is your batch-level color correction tool. Eight sliders to fix lighting, color cast, and saturation across every image at once.
If your batch of source images came out at slightly inconsistent brightness or color — different mockup tools, different stock libraries, different AI generations — this is the tool that brings them in line.
Why this step matters
Even carefully-sourced batches end up inconsistent — different generations, different mockup exports, different stock libraries each have their own brightness and color bias. For product listings or print-on-demand where consistency matters, you want the whole batch to look like one shop, not 40 different sources.
Image Adjustment applies the same correction to every image, so they all end up in the same visual range.
How to use it
- Add Image Adjustment to your pipeline.
- Move the sliders to taste. Watch the live preview — it shows your first image being adjusted in real time.
- When the preview looks right, run the pipeline. Every image in the batch gets the same treatment.
The sliders
All sliders default to 0 (no change). Negative values reduce; positive values increase.
| Slider | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Brightness | −50 to +50 on the slider (type a value for up to ±100) | Makes the image lighter (positive) or darker (negative). |
| Contrast | −100 to +100 | Punches the difference between light and dark areas (positive) or flattens it (negative). |
| Saturation | −100 to +100 | Strengthens (positive) or weakens (negative) ALL the colors at once. −100 = black and white. |
| Vibrance | −100 to +100 | Like Saturation, but smarter — boosts muted colors more than already-bright ones. Less likely to make skin tones look weird. |
| Hue | −180 to +180 | Shifts every color around the color wheel. Reds become greens, etc. Use sparingly — small shifts (5–15) for white-balance fixes; big shifts for creative recoloring. |
| Red | −100 to +100 | Strengthens or weakens just the red channel. Useful for warming/cooling images. |
| Green | −100 to +100 | Same for green. |
| Blue | −100 to +100 | Same for blue. Often used to fix blue color casts from fluorescent light. |
| Colorize | On / Off, with Colorize Hue 0–360 (default 180) | Tints the whole image with one hue — a quick single-color look. |
| Invert | On / Off | Flips every color to its opposite, like a photo negative. |
| Greyscale | On / Off | Removes all color (black and white). |
Common adjustments
| Goal | Settings to try |
|---|---|
| Images look slightly washed out | Contrast +15, Saturation +10 |
| Images look too dark | Brightness +15, Contrast +5 |
| Images have a yellow/warm cast | Blue +10, Red −5 |
| Images have a cold/blue cast | Red +10, Blue −10 |
| Want a vintage / muted look | Saturation −25, Contrast +10 |
| Want punchier social-media colors | Saturation +15, Vibrance +20, Contrast +10 |
| Convert batch to black and white | Saturation −100 |
Tips
- Start small. Big slider moves are rarely right. ±10 is usually enough to shift the look meaningfully.
- Vibrance > Saturation for most product images — Vibrance keeps skin tones natural while still boosting product colors.
- Watch the preview, not the numbers. What looks "+30 brightness" on one batch might be too much on another.
- For batches with very different content (some bright, some dark), Image Adjustment will shift them all by the same amount — so the bright ones get more bright and the dark ones get more dark. If your batch needs different corrections per image, separate them.
- Combine with Filters. Use Image Adjustment for normal correction, then a Filter (Sharpen, Vignette) for creative touches.
Things Image Adjustment doesn't do
- It doesn't auto-correct. No "auto white balance" or "auto brightness" button — you set the sliders manually.
- It doesn't fix per-image differences. The same correction applies to every image in the batch. If image 1 needs +10 brightness and image 2 needs −10, this isn't the right tool.
- It doesn't replace selective edits. Brightness and contrast affect the whole image. To brighten just a face or just a background, you'd need a different image editor.
- It doesn't change the image's size, shape, or transparency. Pure color and tone work — no geometry.
