I’ve often struggled with colors that my print preview tells me are out of gamut for my printer and paper. I went so far as to read Adobe’s explanation of the HSL adjustment layer. Didn’t really get the concept until I watched this video. For that, thank you for a cogent explanation. Now, if I can only find a strategy for dealing with those out of gamut colors….

@f64Academy

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! That is tricky. Soft proofing could help, or, even if they are out of gamut, print a test print anyway. If they still look good, who cares? lol, that's how I see it. I mean to some degree we need to watch that stuff, but sometimes its good to let go, test and experiment even if they are there. I have had my PC tell me a color is out of gamut, but when I print it, it still looks good. That's assuming its a small area of course.

Thanks for sharing!! a while ago, I created some actions to generate Colour channel masks. I used them to help me see what is getting affected by the colour changes and fine tune the colour effects that I want!

@f64Academy

That's a great way to separate the colors with masks. Using those masks with the HSL will just give you even more control.

@@f64Academy that is how I control the masks, I've tried several other filters but HSL gives the best results and better control. I feel that I got a good idea after watching this video!

And hopefully someday Adobe finally updates this tool so that we can see which colors in the dropdown have been changed. That this tool hasn't been touched in decades is beyond sad.

The benefit of the new camera angle is there is less purple behind you. On the flip side, the space looks cramped with the right wall and desk surface so close to you. Maybe you could go back to the old angle but ditch the purple lighting?

Well, that's the best tutorial I've found so far on KZread explaining the range sliders in the HSL adjustment layer. But, I'm not there yet in terms of comfortably and confidently fully understanding and adjusting them. Other than practicing and fiddling a lot to gain more skill about them, I would really appreciate a more detailed and expansive tutorial describing and using them.

@f64Academy

Thanks so much! I think it comes down to using it in pracitcal application in your own work. Setup experiments for yourself and just use it :) I can teach an hour on it and still get the same comment from someone else. Practical Application and getting your "hands dirty" with it is the only way to embrace it. Set yourself up with an image, apply a horrible adjustment and play with the sliders. Mentally or physically record the response. Then do it again, and again and again. Where yo use a pattern is where you can determine how to use it with success. As I mentioned, I experimented with it for over 3-6 hours before recording and about 3 hours the day before that. At least 6 hours of just that slider. I hate to call it out, but sometimes you just have top put the work in. Ball is in your court, take it to the hoop! :)

@@f64Academy Thank you very much Blake for promptly responding. You, as an expert, having to spend at least 6 hours on just those sliders to get it right speaks volumes to me of the need for Adobe to rethink the HSL adjustment layer for changing colors. The bottom sliders approach in my view is awkward, too complicated, and takes an excessive amount of time to get the desired outcome right. Adobe has done impressive work in vastly improving and facilitating some of its Photoshop editing capabilities using so-called artificial intelligence. Perhaps they ought to bring that technology to bear in sorting out changing colors via the HSL adjustment layer.

@f64Academy

@@branchau it's an antiquated tool, for sure. But when I say 6 hours, that's not a lot of time to get to a strong level of understanding. What I do is have several images on hand that take in content so I can experiment. I'd recommend the same for you. Put several images of various things you shoot into a folder and always use those as your controlled experiments. It makes working with these tools so much easier when experimenting.

I appreciate it! I know my voice well now and my cadence will not change. After doing this for over 12 years, I know my education style and who it pertains to. Please do not take offense to this, but beginners or those who speak a different language other than English have a difficult time with my videos. They pause them often or slow them down. Intermediate to advanced users appreciate my cadence because I don't waste time with a slower cadence. I receive comments from people all the time who say, "I used to think you talked fast, but now that I know PS better, I think your cadence is perfect" My speed may be a measure of your skill level in Photoshop and there is nothing wrong with that :) Slow me down in the play bar or pause often.
