About color adjustments
A wide range of Color Adjustments in Photomator lets you adjust the photo lighting and color in a number of different ways. You can brighten up the photos, add more contrast, increase the intensity of a certain color in a photo, or replace one color with another. The machine learning-powered ML Enhance also makes it possible to fine-tune the colors and lighting of an image automatically.
There are also premade sets of color adjustments, or, in other words — presets — available in Photomator. All you have to do to change the look of your photo is scroll through the preset collections to find the one you like and tap to apply it. You can save your own color adjustment combinations as presets to reuse later or share with others.
All the color adjustments in Photomator are nondestructive, so you can switch between tools — crop or repair an image — then go back to the Color Adjustments pane at any time to make some additional tweaks to the photo.
