The next major
concept in adjusting images is saturation.

Saturation
can kind of be discussed strong.

The colors are so on the left
we have very strong colors and a lot of

the examples we're going to be looking at
are faces and skin tone.

Skin tone is almost always
the most important thing when it comes to

judging most of an image,
whether it's exposure, saturation

and any of the other aspects
we're going to be talking about.

And that's because we connect with people.

It can certainly be argued that people
are the most important thing in our lives,

so it's really important
that they look nice.

This image on the left,
we'd consider having high saturation.

That's
where the skin looks kind of orange.

These are really kind
of bright colors in the middle.

This is really more kind
of natural saturation, not too strong.

It's just just about right.

And then, of course, on the left,

we have no saturation at all,
which is a black and white image.

Saturation is really important
to get right because a lot of the time

this determines whether your images
look natural or unnatural.

If a color is stronger than it is
in real life,

it's going to give you a certain feeling
when you watch the movie.

And the same can be said for desaturated,

and saturation
is also affected by exposure.

If something is really bright
or really dark,

it might be better for it
to be less saturated.

If something lives really in
the mid tones,

you might be able to get away
with a little more saturation.

There's even times where the darkest parts
of the shot can take

a whole lot of saturation
and the brighter parts really can't.

It's very dependent on your subject,
your lighting, your exposure, your story,

all of that thing.

But saturation in general
is how strong the colors look.
