Adobe Camera RAW - Using the HSL/Grayscale Tab

For Adobe Camera RAW user, who usually uses the basics tab to tweak white balance, improve specific areas of exposure and contrast, making your image to look more sharp, crisp, and vibrant when needed.



But how about the HSL / Grayscale Tab?
Well, this article that I found at Geoff Lawrence's website, might be helpful for all of you.

It actually written and submitted by Don Moughamian, as Geoff said on his website.

The Hues Tab
The first of our HSL tabs focuses on Hues (or regions of specific color). Moving one of the eight hue sliders can (if the hue is present in your image) shift that specific color region to a different but directly related hue. Again, you might decide to make an area of green more yellow-green or more blue-green. Or, maybe you wish to make a region of orange more red-orange or more yellow-orange.

The Saturation Tab
We will look at the Saturation tab. As mentioned in the previous section, saturation effects the purity of a specific region of color. Saturation controls are common in image editing software but very few products offer the level of control and non-destructive benefits of the HSL panel in Adobe Camera Raw.

The Lumincance Tab
Luminance refers to the lightness or perceived brightness of the colors we are targeting in the HSL panel. One more, you need to adjust only those sliders which have an effect in the Hue and Saturation tabs, and in many cases you may only need to adjust one or two of them.
