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.
Just being able to brush saturation would be an amazing way to
selectively remove background distractions, enhance subjects, etc.
Agreed that clutter needs to be avoided, but could put just those
sliders in a pop-up box so that it has minimal impact to the primary
dropdown options.
I can't speak for others, but I'm just asking for the HSL adjustments to be applied to a brush rather than the whole image. I don't think they would have to be added to the Adjustment Brush area necessarily. Just make them accessible when using a brush. If they can add every other conceivable adjustment, then I don't see why HSL would be that large of a leap.
Using sliders in HSL? Really? I haven't used the sliders in years. The beauty of HSL is the Targeted Adjustment Tool, which allows you to click and drag in the image to make adjustments without having to guess what color you should be affecting.
You're missing the point. Whether it is sliders, or the TAT (which, I agree, is AWESOME), I think users are looking for a way to selectively target certain areas of an image rather than the entire photo.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Wow 5 years!? Do we need to call the cops or the national guard? This is a state of emergency! Every one that's on this thread keep posting and make this thread trend. 5 years? Damn! That's like what photoshop cs3?
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.
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.

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. <https://www.phaseone.com/en/Products/Software/Capture-One-Pro/Tutorials.aspx?data-lightbox-path=sZ9Z...> 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 Peter
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.
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.
