What is The HSL/Color/B&W Panel in Lightroom and How Do Yo Use It?

Pye

In this video from our Lightroom 4 A to Z Workshop on DVD, we will discuss the HSL/Color/B&W Panel in Lightroom 4 in complete detail. The HSL/Color/B&W Panel is unique from all of the other panels in Lightroom 4 because there are 3 sections within this panel that you can work in to adjust your images. In the HSL section, you can adjust the Hues, Saturation and Luminance of the image, hence the name HSL. The HSL section is almost identical to the Color section of the panel except the Color section displays a different layout than the HSL section. Lastly, the B&W section in the HSL/Color/B&W Panel stands for “black and white,” where you can adjust the luminance of the colors in black and white. In this article, we will discuss how to make adjustments in each of these sections as well as explain how these adjustments affect your images overall.

Vivid Preset in Lightroom | How to Create Your Own

Pye

In previous tutorials, we went over how to set up a Standard Color Preset and a Standard Black and White Preset to create a “soft portrait” look for our portrait images. Now, we are going to create a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for our landscape images. Landscape images include typical landscape shots that do not have any people in it. They also include a type of portrait called “environmental portrait.” An Environmental Portrait is a portrait that incorporates a lot of landscape into the shot, but there are still people in the image. Environmental Portraits are processed more as a landscape image rather than a portrait image because the “vivid landscape” look will give our landscape images an additional high contrast and poppy look that brings out a lot of detail. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for landscape images and we will also discuss when to include the exposure setting into presets.
