P: HSL Adjustments for Local Adjustment Tools

The addition of HSL controls for the adjustment brush and the gradient tools would be a wonderful advancement and offer LR another great feature set that I'm sure would come in handy for the vast majority of Lightroom users.

To be able to change hsl on brushed areas would keep in the system.  Itd be great if adobe could implement this now. Its easy to do this in capture one rather than the LR PS smart object work flow that it currently requires.

hallo,
it would be nice, like on1 photoraw, to be able to stack several HSL tuning, one for sky, another for foliage,... and for each, have a luminosity mask or a color range mask and brush out/gradient out to remove effect.
a single HSL panel doesn't allow to process a zone without interfering on another one.
lightroom cannot manage several panels in a stack so perhaps we could find a way by putting HSL in a local adjustment instead of fixed panel.

I really really miss  local HSL adjustment on the brush tool. It would save me so much time...

I use Lightroom exclusively - and need to export images to other software just for this feature.

I'm looking around to move away from Lightroom just because of this 😞

Here is something I posted to another thread...

Colour and Range mask are a step towards what I'd like!
However what I would really like is to have the HSL tool tab available with the adjustment brush and for example "paint" the sky and then adjust the Blue Saturation and Lightness. (gives great skys) However when you do this globally you often get bad artefacts in (blue) shaded areas of buildings.
Capture One does this really well, however (for lots of reasons mostly speed of workflow) I only use it when tethered.

This will give some idea of what would be nice!

Come on Adobe, we are paying more now then ever before and the rate of (useful) development is worse than before

The Saturation slider already does Vibrance when moved in a + direction. And you can get pretty close to HSL by using the new Color Range Mask to select a color and Exposure/Temp/Tint/Saturation to adjust.

Adjustment Brush should definitely include: HSL, and Vibrance! I believe it's coming soon because the performance improvements seem to be kicking in.

Why have to go outside of LR when the capabilities are right there!

Yes.  Please add this enhancement, guys.  Isn't Lightroom for professionals and their photo editing workflow?  This is a pretty basic part of a photo editing workflow.
