Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, hue, channels, and apply color effects.

Adjust Colors

Comprehensive color adjustment tool combining brightness, contrast, exposure, saturation, temperature, tint, hue rotation, per-channel levels, and one-click effects (grayscale, sepia, invert) in a single endpoint.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/adjust-colors

Accepts multipart form data with an image file and a JSON settings field.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
brightness number No 0 Brightness adjustment (-100 to 100)
contrast number No 0 Contrast adjustment (-100 to 100)
exposure number No 0 Exposure / midtone gamma (-100 to 100)
saturation number No 0 Color saturation (-100 to 100)
temperature number No 0 White balance: cool/blue to warm/orange (-100 to 100)
tint number No 0 Tint shift: green to magenta (-100 to 100)
hue number No 0 Hue rotation in degrees (-180 to 180)
sharpness number No 0 Sharpening strength (0 to 100)
red number No 100 Red channel level (0 to 200, 100 = unchanged)
green number No 100 Green channel level (0 to 200, 100 = unchanged)
blue number No 100 Blue channel level (0 to 200, 100 = unchanged)
effect string No "none" Color effect: none, grayscale, sepia, invert

Example Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/adjust-colors \

Notes

  • All parameters default to neutral values so you can adjust only what you need.
  • Adjustments are applied in this order: brightness, contrast, exposure, saturation/hue, temperature/tint, sharpness, channels, effects.
  • Temperature uses a 3x3 color recombination matrix on the blue-orange and green-magenta axes.
  • Exposure maps to Sharp's gamma function (positive brightens midtones, negative darkens them).
  • This endpoint also responds at the legacy paths /api/v1/tools/brightness-contrast, /api/v1/tools/saturation, /api/v1/tools/color-channels, and /api/v1/tools/color-effects.
  • Output format matches the input format. HEIC, RAW, PSD, and SVG inputs are automatically decoded before processing.
