Learn how to read the Vectorscope, choose a preview color space, and evaluate hue, saturation, color casts, and skin tones as you edit photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic.
A Vectorscope displays a circular representation of the hue and saturation in a photo. The angle around the center represents hue, while the distance from the center represents saturation. Colors near the center are less saturated, while colors farther from the center are more saturated.
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
Right-click Histogram, and then select Show Vectorscope.
The Vectorscope displays 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.
|
Option |
What it’s for |
|---|---|
|
sRGB |
The standard color space for the web, social media, and most screens. Best for photos you’ll share online. |
|
Adobe RGB |
A wider color space often used for print. It covers more greens and cyans than sRGB. |
|
Display P3 |
A wider color space used by modern Apple devices and many newer phones and monitors. |
|
Rec. 2020 |
A very wide color space used for HDR and video. Useful when you edit in HDR. |
|
ProPhoto |
A very wide color space that keeps almost all the color your camera captures. Commonly used for editing and archiving. |
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.
You can deselect Show Vectorscope to hide it from your workspace.
As you edit your photo, the Vectorscope updates to show how your changes affect its hue and saturation.
