We all edit our photos before sharing to social media or to some one , and while editing we make changes in the Saturation and Vibrance 

Are they the same ?

NO

The vibrance and the saturation are totally diffrent when it comes to editing 

The main difference between vibrance and saturation is that saturation adjusts the intensity of all colors in the image equally and vibrance will do the same but avoid increasing the color intensity of the most saturated areas, avoid decreasing the intensity of the least saturated areas, and protect the skin tones in your image.

SATURATION

Saturation in Lightroom adjusts the intensity of the colors. As the saturation of color increases the color becomes more “pure.”

It is a strong adjustment that affects all the colors in the image equally. Adobe calls it an “absolute” adjustment because it will affect all colors in an image equally.

Take a look at the color wheel below. The left side is the original image and the right side is the same image with Saturation adjustment in Lightroom.

VIBRANCE

Vibrance controls the exact same thing that saturation does, the intensity of the colors. However, the way that it differs is that it has sort of a built-in regulator as to which parts of the image it affects and how strongly it affects them.

Lightroom is analyzing your image and controlling what pixels the vibrance slider affects based on the original saturation level of those pixels.

Ok, I know that was a little dense, so I’ll try to break it down a little better.

So the vibrance slider will have a unique effect for every image.
