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.

Definitely agree that the ability to mask HSL would be of tremendous value.  The original suggestion was made 5 years ago, so it's beyond time to get it done!

Well, it is already working is it not? In Capture One Pro, that is.

They will never get to it. It seems like this thread is just soaked with tears and frustration. Because doing layers and other useless clicking around is way better choice. Not to say I don't appreciate all the good things adobe ia doing to the program but commmmmmmme on! This is essential to any user. Yeah adobe can you imaging people DO NEED LOCAL COLLOR CONTROLS. Can we start a legit petition #belive!

Why don't you add HSL control in brushes? Even Apple Aperture had this incredibly useful function..
Thanks!

+1 for HSL with the adjustment brush/gradient tools. It would save me a lot of roundtrips to and from PS.

Who cares how much length it may add? Find a way to add the feature in. Targeted adjustments are the only things that begin to matter on the professional end. I need the ability to selectively modify color in a batch of images from events. Currently I have to compromise too much. I prefer capture one for most of my work now because of this lack of very selective color/saturation/luminance modification in lightroom, but the only thing holding C1 back from being my only choice is just how steep the learning curve is for that color editing process and the ease of integration with Photoshop when delivering multiple images. 

If you're worried about making the use of Photoshop obsolete because people will begin to ask too much for a Lightroom only package that is cheaper than the bundle of Photoshop and Lightroom, you shouldn't be. There's plenty of great reasons (i.e. advanced cloning/healing/repair/brushing/painting/every friggin thing on the planet...it's an amazing program, no one should be ignoring it!) to use Photoshop. 


There's just SO MUCH TIME that can be saved by simply adding these basic features. Not having to swap back and forth from Photoshop for some simple color issues would save me TIME. Time is a finite resource. The only currency ANY of us truly have that matters. If you can give me back my TIME with a small addition of benefits that make my life easier, I'll be that much happier because my LIFE can be more full. You have a chance to make a very small change that will give millions of LR users (at very least a few thousand who rely on those tools, and more when you educate people on their power) back some precious time. It's a gift you can give to others that costs very little, and it will keep giving. Hell, you can even do some basic math and figure out how much time you've saved people with changes to the program and use it as an advertising hook. As long as you've actually done right, it's okay to be proud of that.

Thanks, but no apologies needed. I've been itching for a more selective adjustment tool for quite some time. I think the last couple updates of light room have been a little bit on the weak, failing to incorporate something that seems so basic for such a long time, like more options in the print module, like drop shadow, guidelines and other things like being able to color code folders or collections.

My apologies. I agree that the sliders are cumbersome and quirky. I'm just using that terminology in reference to being able to make it truly targeted. TTAT using your own terms.

I'm not missing the point.  I've suggested the same for years.  I call it the Targted Target Adjustment Tool.  My point being that sliders are slow and inaccurate.
