Introducing HSL

When it comes to making changes to your photographs that are related to color,…the HSL panel gives us some fascinating controls.…So here we'll start off with this demo file.…We'll jump over to the HSL panel by clicking on the fourth tab.…You can see we have different sub-tabs;…Hue, Saturation, and Luminance.…Let's start off with Hue.…What does this actually do?…Well, Hue allows us to shift color;…we can make this red more orange, or we can make it a little bit more magenta.…

By dragging this slider, we can actually change the color in our photograph,…as you can see here in this before and after.…And what's interesting about this is we can change these colors,…so that we can change the overall mood or feeling,…or really, we can change our vision for our photographs by using these sliders.…To reset any of these Hue sliders, just click on Default.…Next, we have Saturation.…This is really straightforward;…we can either increase or decrease saturation, and in this way, we could remove…a lot of the saturation from a number of the different colors, so that only a few remain.…
