How to Boost Colors with Vibrance in PSD Photo Processor for .NET

Vibrance enhancement lifts the intensity of dull colors without oversaturating skin tones or highlights. With Aspose.PSD for .NET, you can automate vibrance adjustments across all your PSD photo assets for a consistent, lively look.

Real-World Problem

Large sets of product, fashion, or marketing photos often appear flat due to poor lighting. Manual vibrance tweaks are too slow for hundreds of assets.

Solution Overview

Add a Vibrance Adjustment Layer, then set vibrance and saturation with a few lines of code—fully batchable and reversible.

Prerequisites

  1. Visual Studio 2019 or later
  2. .NET 6.0 or later (or .NET Framework 4.6.2+)
  3. Aspose.PSD for .NET from NuGet
  4. PSD file(s) to enhance
PM> Install-Package Aspose.PSD

Step-by-Step Implementation

Step 1: Load the PSD File 

using Aspose.PSD;
using Aspose.PSD.FileFormats.Psd;

string inputFile = "./input/photo.psd";
string outputFile = "./output/photo_vibrance.psd";

var loadOptions = new PsdLoadOptions() { LoadEffectsResource = true };
PsdImage psdImage = (PsdImage)Image.Load(inputFile, loadOptions);

Step 2: Add a Vibrance Adjustment Layer 

var vibrance = psdImage.AddVibranceAdjustmentLayer();

Step 3: Set Vibrance and Saturation 

vibrance.Vibrance = 11;   // -100 to 100
vibrance.Saturation = -7; // -100 to 100

Step 4: Save the Enhanced PSD 

psdImage.Save(outputFile);
psdImage.Dispose();

Use Cases and Applications

  • Boost product photo colors for web and catalogs
  • Fix dull or flat campaign images in bulk
  • Achieve modern, vibrant looks for creative projects

Common Challenges and Solutions

Over-vibrant images: Start with subtle values and preview results for best appearance.

Adjustment not visible: Ensure the vibrance layer is above the image layer in the stack.

Best Practices

  • Preview before rolling out to all assets
  • Keep original files for backup
  • Script for automation on full image libraries

FAQ

Q: Can I increase only vibrance or saturation? A: Yes—set one or both properties as needed for your desired effect.

Q: Is this effect non-destructive? A: Yes—keep the adjustment layer for easy re-editing or undo.
