Hi everyone.
I use Aperture to manage my photos, and although I am somewhat of a novice at it, I can tell that a lot of tools would be very handy. For example, I love these 2 sliders under the adjustments tab, saturate and vibrance. As you can tell, I love putting them up all the way.
With my library of over 5000 pictures, I've gone through many shots and flicked the saturation and vibrance all as extreme as it can get, and people (who aren't really into photography) have said that the colors are amazing and the pictures are great.
However, after I moved the sliders all the way to the right for like the hundredth time, it came to me...do my pictures look unnatural? am I taking away from the shot? will this have any consequences in the future, if i wish to change it back (i.e. will the quality be affected)?
Here are some examples...
Here is the mexico pavilion in disney world, all saturated/vibrated and the colors popping out...
and here's the original shot, without any of that:
I mean, my eyes are drawn to the first one obviously, but what do you guys think? I kind of miss the realism in the second one.
Here's a shot from Disney's All Star Movies resort, all saturated:
and here's the original shot without any edits:
Here's perhaps one of the best examples of saturated vs none of that;
saturated and vibrated to the extreme:
and the original:
Can someone please give me some tips? I can't decide whether I LOVE the saturation or if it's unrealistic.
Thanks!
