VectorCat Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is this even possible? say you have 2 or more objects differing in color and you want to adjust their saturation at the same time but without altering their respective colors. maybe this idea has other applications..

ronnyb Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Why not group them and apply an HSL Adjustment?

Staff MattP Posted February 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2015 I certainly like the idea - it's the same as when you select a number of objects and adjust the colour opacity - it affects only that channel of the colour, rather than setting the whole of the colour. The problem comes when some of those colours weren't specified as HSL you have to adjust their apparent saturation by converting to HSL then back into their original space - which could introduce colour casts or all sorts of unintended things... definitely worth thinking over a bit though, thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Not sure if my question is similar in nature, but is color adjustment possible for a specific layer, instead of all of them? I have two layers, I select one of them, and when I go to the Adjustment Tab>HSL, my HSL adjustments affect the entire document (both layers). How does one only make the adjustment to a specific layer? In God's Harmony r10k 1 Quote In God's Harmony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 @roddy, try dragging the HSL Adjustment layer onto the layer you are trying to modify (in the Layers palette)... Check out the video called Layers Panel Drop Zones here. Not sure if my question is similar in nature, but is color adjustment possible for a specific layer, instead of all of them?

I thought one would be able to select the layer, then Adjust, so that it would only affect the current selected layer, not the entire document with all layers as a whole. The video is for Designer, but works the same in Affinity Photo which is what I am using. Thanks again. Jesus Loves You!
