Fixx Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Is there a way to target HSL adjustment more finely? Now it seems to target only primary colours and I cannot find a way to adjust target colour. In Photoshop you can alter the target area easily by moving target handles and even adjust the falloff by splitting them. shojtsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Not (yet) I'm afraid. Positioning the cursor in the shift value box, one can increase/decrease by 0.1 pressing CTRL + scrolling with the mouse wheel or type in the value manually. But that you already figured out I think. One can play around with the Blend Ranges (the gear in the bottom right corner) That's about it at this stage.

Fixx Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 I think those target smaller areas. I want just to diminish reddish skin areas and make then look like normal skin, not like irritated skin disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not already seen it, the Nature Portrait (Affinity Photo) video tutorial (on YouTube or Vimeo) may give you some ideas about how to do this while maintaining natural looking results. Obviously, this would take a lot more work than the techniques that targets large areas but those techniques are typically the ones that produce unnatural looking skin textures, as if someone had applied a thick, concealing layer of pancake makeup to the subject.

It looks about the same as HSL adjustment. Same targeting, adjustment just modifies colour components instead of hue&saturation&darkness.

I guess I should look that video, but generally I am not aiming to do beautification techniques, just diminish reddish tones in the skin.

One of the points made in that video is that tonal adjustments should be made to the low frequency part of the image. This video is worth watching as well.
