Adjust Color Like A Pro In Lightroom
The key to stronger photos that tell compelling stories is selective adjustments. Shifting hue and color of specific elements in your photo is a part of visual storytelling.
Global changes in HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) can be problematic, altering the overall mood and feel of a photo.
The Color Range masks in Lightroom make it easy and approachable to alter colors in targeted spots in your photo. The short video in this article will show you how to create a color range mask, refine the range of colors it affects, and limit the mask to only the areas you want to affect.
Once your mask is in place, use the sliders in the masking area:
Hue: Shift the color to another color
Saturation: Increase or decrease the richness of the color
Exposure: Increase or decrease the luminance (brightness) of the color
With a Color Range mask, you have a powerful, selective, HSL tool.
