The Presence
in the Develop
module of Lightroom has Clarity
, Saturation
and Vibrance
. What do they do? I’m not trying to do a glossary of terms used in Lightroom, but here are some explanations of common terms of the Develop
module, the Presence
:
- Clarity: Changes the contrast in the mid-tones in the image. It increases the details in the mid-tones. The Clarity adds some sharpening.
- Saturation: Adjusts the intensity of all the colours in the image. All colours are treated equally.
- Vibrance: Similar to the Saturation, but milder. Clipping is minimized as the colours get saturated. The
Vibrance
has a greater effect on the “less saturated” colours than the “more saturated” colours. The Vibrance is excellent to adjust the skin tones and the areas that are already richly saturated.
