Adjusting or Changing Ranges of Color
In the next chapter, you're going to learn how to paint an adjustment over any part of your
image, but sometimes you need to affect an entire area (like you need the entire sky bluer,
or the sand warmer, or a piece of clothing to be an entirely different color). In those cases,
where you're adjusting large areas, it's usually quicker to use the HSL adjustments, which
not only let you change color, but also let you change the saturation and the lightness of the
color. It's more powerful, and handier than you might think.
Step One:
Here's the original image of some washed-out buildings. What I'd like to do is tweak their
color so they really stand out. You tweak individual colors, or ranges of color, in the HSL/
Grayscale panel, so click on its icon at the top of the Panel area (it's the fourth one from
the left—circled here in red). Now, click on the Saturation tab (as shown here) to bring up
the Saturation sliders (which control the intensity of the colors).
