HSL (Hue)

Hue represents the fundamental color identity or “color” itself, defined by its position (angle) on a color wheel.

The HSL Model

The HSL model is defined by three primary dimensions:

• Saturation: The intensity, purity, or vividness of a color.
• Luminance: The brightness or light intensity of a color.

Implementation in Adobe Lightroom Classic

Using the Color Mixer panel, users can perform targeted color adjustments:

• Allows for independent manipulation of hue, Saturation, and Luminance for specific color ranges.
• Enables precise control over color shifts without affecting the entire image spectrum.
