Adjust

Use the adjust transformation when you want to tune brightness, saturation, and color together in one delivered image variant.

Overview​

adjust is useful for small visual corrections or consistent styling across generated images, content images, cards, and previews. It combines multiple tone controls into one transformation value.

Syntax​

FieldValue
Canonical parameteradjust
Aliasa
Value syntaxbrightness[:saturation[:color]] or an SDK object with brightness, optional saturation, and optional color

Example​

https://cdn.imgwire.dev/{organization_id}/{environment_id}/{image_id}?adjust=1.45:1.7:1.4
image.url({
  adjust: '1.45:1.7:1.4',
  format: 'auto',
  quality: 'auto',
});
imgwire images url img_123 --adjust 1.45:1.7:1.4 --format auto --quality auto

Best practices​

  • Use adjust for broad tone correction when one combined value is easier to manage than separate transformations.
  • Use individual transformations like Brightness, Saturation, or Contrast when you want more explicit control.
  • Keep adjustment values consistent for repeated UI treatments.

Common mistakes​

  • Over-adjusting images until colors look unnatural across different uploads.
  • Using adjust when a single-purpose transformation would be easier to document and maintain.
  • Forgetting that adjustment applies only to the delivered variant.
