From Wiki:

The name SuperMoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, defined as:

“...a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit (perigee). In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.”

 

(The phrasing "within 90% of its closest approach" is unclear, but an example on Nolle's website shows that he means that the Earth-Moon distance is in the lowest tenth of its range.)

Photoshop use for sizzle & compositing. Not much, if any color adjustment was made.
