Color Adjustments - Pixelate Pro

Color Adjustments changes the captured colors before Color Palette snaps them. Use it to brighten a dark model, punch up flat colors, or shift a whole character’s hue, without touching the source materials.

The same character with no adjustment, Exposure +1, Contrast +50, Saturation +80, Hue Shift +120, and a combined muted setting

Settings

All settings are 0 by default, which means no change.

Setting	Range	What it does
Exposure	-3 to 3	Brightens or darkens in photographic stops. +1 doubles the light, -1 halves it. Black stays black.
Contrast	-100 to 100	Pushes colors away from mid grey (positive) or toward it (negative). -100 flattens the image to grey.
Saturation	-100 to 100	Makes colors more vivid (positive) or greyer (negative). -100 removes all color.
Hue Shift	-180 to 180	Rotates every hue around the color wheel, in degrees, keeping brightness.

Tips

With an Auto Color Palette, click Regenerate on the palette after large changes so the palette is rebuilt from the adjusted colors. The palette shows a stale warning when it needs this.
With a Custom palette, adjustments decide which palette color each pixel snaps to. A small Exposure or Contrast change is often enough to use more of the palette.
