CS4 Vibrance / Saturation

[Mathew Zucker]

Hello

In CS4 (Mac) the Vibrance adjustment panel has a Saturation slider. Is this different from Saturation in the Saturation adjustment panel?

Thank you

They are definitely different.  In general the Saturation control on the Vibrance panel is a little slower/more subtle.  The manual also states that the Saturation control on the Vibrance panel may help with banding compared to Hue/Saturation (which makes sense I guess if it is more subtle).

Here is a link where this gentleman analyzed the difference in quite a bit of detail:

Is there a difference tweaking saturation and vibrance in ACR, or doing it afterwards in Photoshop? I don't have CS4 so cannot try this...
