Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Fine-tuning color with the HSL controls, part of Lightroom 6 Essential Training.
- Let's take a look at how we can use…our HSL controls…in order to fine tune color.…We'll begin with a demo file so we…can understand these controls,…then we'll jump over to a few photographs.…You can open up the HSL panel by clicking on its name.…Here you can see we have tabs.…H stands for hue,…S for saturation…and then L for luminance.…If you wanna view all these at once,…click on All and you can scroll down…and see all of those, but my opinion,…it's a bit overwhelming,…so let's keep things simple and let's just click…on a tab, starting with Saturation.…
That might be the easiest one to understand.…Here we can increase or decrease the color saturation…of different areas of our photograph.…You can see that what I'm doing here…is simply removing color from every area,…except maybe a couple.…By doing this, we can really customize…the way that the color appears…in the photograph.…To reset these values, hold down option or alt,…then click on the title right here.…When you hold down option or alt,…it turns into a reset button.…
