Adjust color saturation in image areas

The Sponge tool subtly changes the color saturation of an area. When an image is in Grayscale mode, the tool increases or decreases contrast by moving gray levels away from or toward the middle gray.

  1. Select the Sponge tool .
  2. Choose a brush tip and set brush options in the options bar.
  3. In the options bar, select the way you want to change the color.

    • Saturate to intensify the color’s saturation

    • Desaturate to dilute the color’s saturation

  4. Specify the flow for the Sponge tool.
  5. Drag over the part of the image you want to modify.
