In the traditional color adjustment approach, people tried to separately adjust the luminance and saturation. This approach makes the color over-saturate very easily and makes the image look unnatural. In this study, we try to use the concept of exposure compensation to simulate the brightness changes and to find the relationship among luminance, saturation, and hue. The simulation indicates that saturation changes withthe change of luminance and the simulation also shows there are certain relationships between color variation model and YCbCr color model. Together with all these symptoms, we also include the human vision characteristics to propose a new saturation method to enhance the vision effect of an image. As results, the proposed approach can make the image have better vivid and contrast. Most important of all, unlike the over-saturation caused by the conventional approach, our approach prevents over-saturation and further makes the adjusted image look natural.
