1. About the Sponge Tool
The sponge tool allows you to adjust the saturation of specific areas in your image. This can be useful for enhancing or reducing color intensity in certain parts of your image. Upload an image from your computer and use the sponge tool to apply saturation changes as needed.
2. How the Sponge Tool Works
The sponge tool works by applying saturation changes to specific areas of your image. When you brush over an area, the tool increases or decreases the saturation based on the settings you have chosen. This allows you to selectively enhance or reduce color intensity in your image. The sponge tool is essentially a saturation brush. It paints saturation or color intensity into the image in the same way color is applied with the brush tool.
2.1 Selecting the Sponge Tool
To select the sponge tool, look for the sponge icon in the image editor toolbar. Click on it to activate the tool, and adjust the settings as needed to apply saturation changes effectively to your image.
2.2 Applying the Sponge Tool
To apply the sponge tool, brush over the area of your image where you want to adjust saturation. The tool will increase or decrease the saturation based on your settings. Adjust the size, hardness, and saturation level in the tool options bar to achieve the desired effect.
