Welcome to this new lesson in the photoshop S.C. editing section in this section we're going to learn
about this tab H S L and grayscale H S L stands for hue saturation and illuminates if you want to follow
along go ahead and open up the photoshop five dot RW file q as we've learned earlier in the class about
color is basically the color itself so changing the hue of a red will change it from red to a different
red or to a different color completely saturation is the vibrance of that color and luminous is the
brightness of a color and so with this actual tab you can edit individual parts of your image for example
in this image if we want to make the Blues change color we could take the blue slider and drag it to
the left or right.
And all the blues in this photo become a different hue.
There might even be some arc was or purples in the sky that will change if we adjust the purple slider
or the awkward slider very slightly but actually there's some aqua in this green sign over here.
So if we want to adjust this green sign we get to adjust the Greens very slightly it's a lot of that
Aqua actually and maybe some of that yellow mostly that OK with.
And it had some blues in there.
So this allows us to adjust specific parts specific colors.
Let's set default by clicking that.
So if I just adjust the awkward you can start to see this becomes a little bit more yellow or a little
bit more blue double clicking reverse that saturation on the other hand is how we can make the sky maybe
D saturated mean we we don't want as much blue so that this this sign over here stands out and in this
way we can leave all of the colors except for one see this red up here.
If we increase that it becomes more red.
That might even have some magenta in it.
If we decrease it decrease the purples as well everything thing becomes black and white except for the
oranges yellows greens and ackwards.
So let's actually make the arc was more greens are good yellows.
Let's take out oranges let's take out.
So now we have a photo with just greens and aqua.
So you can get some pretty cool photos this way reset to default.
Last we have luminous.
And like I mentioned this is the exposure.
So if we want to make the sky brighter we can increase the luminous of the blues or darker to decrease
which actually gives it more color.
If we want that side to stand out we can increase the act was in the blue or the Greens rather.
It's very subtle for this sign and doesn't have that much color in it already.
Maybe we want to make it darker to stand out.
And in that sense we would make the Blues brighter.
So you can see that again using these different tabs.
You can really make your photo more creative.
Let's go ahead and set default.
The other option in this tab is grayscale.
So if you check this box right here it converts the image to grayscale but you can still adjust the
individual colors of your photo.
So if we take this blue slider for example we can adjust the exposure or the luminous of the blues which
affects how the black and white image looks.
Same with the Greens and the ackwards.
We can adjust how it looks.
So if we want to make this sine more contrast we we'd drop the Greens and the acquis and then bringing
up those blues makes it stand out a little bit more.
The Reds.
If we want to make that tall scraper over here a little bit brighter we can bring that up.
Same with our magenta eyes and purples.
So this is a way that you can really adjust how you're black and white photos look rather than just
your overall exposure.
But by adjusting specific colors in a photo.
And this is how you can take your black and white photos to the next level by playing with these individual
colors.
So by default it's going to actually auto create the settings.
So when you turn that on it's going to set to auto.
You can also set it there or setting to default lets you create it from scratch.
All right.
So this is just an individual way that you can adjust colors in Photoshop.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Otherwise we'll see in the next lesson.
