It is a subtle effect, but can give your image that extra pop to make it stand out. Instead, it increases the hue of colors and their complementary colors slightly, to make the colors look more saturated. The last slider, Perceptual Saturation slider, doesn’t change the saturation directly. Drag the slider to the right to add some red, to give the image warmer color temperature. Drag the slider to the left to add some subtle blue color which will give your image a cooler color temperature.

However, the Warmth slider will do wonders in adjusting the warmth or coolness in your image. The Saturation slider simply controls the saturation of the photo, no mysteries here. This filter gives you control over the vibrance using three sliders.

This filter is the one to use if you want more warmth or coolness in your photo.

Select the “Fine” option under Effect Radius to make Color Efex Pro 4 concentrate on bringing out more texture from smaller objects. If you would like to be in charge of whether the detail extractor filter focuses on texture or only larger objects, just change the Effect Radius drop down option. The Contrast slider controls the overall contrast in your image while the Saturation slider adjusts the color vibrancy in your image. It defaults to 25% which usually is enough. The Detail Extractor slider works by brightening the shadows and darkening the highlights while exaggerating details. This filter does a fantastic job of bringing forth details that are already in the image to begin with, but not visible.
