Learn how to use the Vectorscope in Adobe Lightroom desktop to check color and skin tones in your photos.
The Vectorscope shows the hue and saturation of the colors in your photo on a circular graph. Use it to spot color casts, check skin tones, and match color across photos.
How to read the Vectorscope
The Vectorscope consists of the following:
- Center: Neutral colors, such as whites, grays, and blacks, sit at the center.
- Angle: The direction from the center shows the hue.
- Distance from center: Colors farther from the center are more saturated.
- Color points: Six markers show where red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow fall. Hover over a point to see the color name.
- Skin: A diagonal line with a shaded area around it indicates where natural skin tones typically fall.

Work with Vectorscope
Select the more icon from the right panel and then select Show Vectorscope. You can also access Vectorscope from the View > Edit Panels menu.
The Vectorscope displays and plots the hue and saturation of your photo’s colors on a circular graph. In the Masking panel, hover over the photo to view where the color under your cursor appears on the Vectorscope.
Select any of the following options from the Preview Color Space dropdown menu to set which color space the Vectorscope uses to plot your photo’s colors.

To change the orientation, right-click the Vectorscope, and then select any of the following:
- Standard (default): Red is near the top of the Vectorscope. This is the default layout.
- Right-origin: Rotates the whole Vectorscope about 90° clockwise. This matches the layout in many video editing apps.
As you edit your photo, the Vectorscope updates to show how your changes affect its hue and saturation.
