Look IV: Punchy — Bring out the Best in Your Bold, Colorful Images

Bright, bold colorful images spark joy—-it’s no wonder so many photographers are drawn to them.  A high-saturation look invites a feeling of adventure, celebration, and fun. These types of images draw the viewer in and make them feel like they’re a part of the moment, and it’s a beautiful thing. Colorful photos are a powerful tool for expression and communication, and they are also just a delight to look at.

Introducing Punchy: A Playful Look for Photographers Who Love Color

Do you find yourself drawn to increasing the color intensity of an image every time you sit down to edit? We totally get it. Colors can evoke strong emotions and associations, and they can make a photo feel more vivid, dynamic, and lifelike. 

Color is an amazing tool in photography, and highlighting it creates contrast, depth, and visual interest in a composition. We created our Punchy look to embrace just that. When applied in Lightroom using PHAiTO, Punchy turns the colors in your images up to just the right amount—meaning they come across striking, bold, and beautiful.


Your colorful photos are amazing because they can capture and convey the beauty, vibrancy, and energy of the world around us in a way that color-muted or black and white images simply cannot. So why not get the right tool to help you effectively punch up saturation? (See what we did there 😉)

How to Use PHAiTO for a Stunningly Vibrant Edit

PHAiTO is one smart cookie when it comes to editing your photos. So how does it work?  PHAiTO’s Ai picture editing skills are able to harness the power of Ai to apply a range of automatic adjustments to your photo such as brightness, contrast, color correction, and more. 

These adjustments are made within Lightroom—similar to the way a Lightroom preset would be applied (only better)— to enhance your beautifully bold images.

PHAiTO wouldn’t be where it is without our professional editors—the humans who trained PHAiTO using thousands of images. We’ve made it our mission to make achieving the look you want on your images seamless and easy.

PHAiTO is a quick, easy, affordable solution for Ai photo editing. If you want to achieve a vibrant, gorgeously saturated outcome with your photos without sacrificing your time on tedious editing tasks, PHAiTO’s Punchy Look is for you.
