If you are a professional photographer, you probably edit most of your pictures after taking them on the big screen of a Mac or classic computer. Most of these individuals use special programs for photo editing, such as Adobe Lightroom or darktable. If, on the other hand, you are an amateur photographer and you took a photo that you like, but could use some minor adjustments, then you definitely do not need to buy any special software. You can handle the entire process of simple color editing on a Mac within the Preview application. You will find out how in this article.

How to easily adjust photo colors on Mac

If you want to simply adjust the colors of a photo or image on your macOS device, it's nothing complicated. As I mentioned above, you can handle the entire process within the Preview. The procedure is as follows:

  • First, you need to transfer or they found photos and pictures, which you want to edit.
  • Once you do so, the image in the classic way in Preview open.
  • After opening, you need to click on the tab in the top bar Tools.
  • This will open another menu in which locate and click on the box Adjust colors…
  • After that, another small window will appear in which you can simply adjust the colors.
  • You can use it brands right in histogram, or available sliders.
  • Once you're done editing, just tap on cross a close or save the image.

As described above, you can easily adjust the colors of a photo or image directly on your Mac within the Preview application. Specifically, you can adjust a photo's histogram this way, and below that are sliders to adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, temperature, tone, sepia, and sharpness. In addition, you will find an Auto-adjust button at the top - if you click on it, the colors of the photo will be automatically adjusted according to artificial intelligence. In some cases the result can be great, in others it can be terrible. If you don't like the adjustments made, just click on Reset all at the bottom, which will return the colors to their original state.
