P: HSL Adjustments for Local Adjustment Tools

I don't remember seeing one. I think I've only been asked a handful of times in the last 10 years. The name's just a bit long to put the whole info on there. It's like the Noise Slider doesn't actually ADD noise, and the Sharpness slider does a mix of unsharpening and blurring in a negative direction. It's probably in some help files somewhere, and it's definitely in my books.

Thanks, I wouldn’t have been able to guess that from the name. Been frustrated often, having tried to combine variations of the global slider with the local slider.
Not sure if there’s an open ticket somewhere for Adobe to rename the saturation adjustment or at least provide a tool tip.

Saturation increases saturation equally, whereas Vibrance increases the saturated of lower-saturated colors more than highly saturated colors, so it protects skin tones.

The local adjustment Saturation slider is slightly misnamed. It does - Saturation in a negative direction and + Vibrance in a positive direction.

Hi Victoria, I'm a bit puzzled. I thought that Vibrance is selective saturation on the muted colors, and conversely, saturation is aggressive vibrance. So technically, is there a way to achieve the vibrance via an adjustment brush?
The only hack I know to achieve this, is to export two layers to PS, (one with vibrance and one without) and then apply a selective mask, save and then return to LR. 

You can do this using the Color Range Mask tools available in the Adjustment Brush, Radial Filter, and Graduated filter. The HSL controls are limited to eight colors, which isn't isn't very selective. By comparison the Color Range Mask has virtually unlimited color selectivity using its eyedropper tool. In fact the Color Range tools make addition of the HSL controls almost redundant. It's just a different and less selective way of adjusting color. You can add as many Color Masks as you like to correct different image areas and/or colors.

I suspect most people that reject this as a solution don't understand how to use it. Here's a good tutorial on the topic of skin tone correction in portraits. Jump to 3:55 for the segment on portrait retouching.

several times i need remove excessive red skin on groom in very white people. Using global HSL also change all reds in the photo, like red dresses. Is very important add HSL in adjustment tool to be more precise

The selection tools is fantastic, however I don't understand why we can't change HSL with it! it would be so great if we could change saturation, hue etc of just one part of the image! I don't want to go on Ps for that!

We need to take this forum to Reddit

I believe that Adobe doesn't pay atention to this forum. So many real improvements to do and nothing... Very frustrated!

I see this as a viable workaround - but it's still SUCH a kludge.
