As an heavy photoshop user I like how your videos are all about the why's than the how's. Understanding what I am doing is so much more important than the way you do it. Thanks for the amazing tip. ;)
at @16:47 when selecting the Green channel you are actually selecting the Green channel not the Saturation channel for your example. You forgot to turn on the HSB layer before making the selection. So all the effects are just targeting the brightness, or shadow values when you inverted it, of the green channel.
Lo que pasó en ese caso, es que seleccionó toda la información de color no verde en la imagen para manejar la saturación de los demás canales (sin alternar el verde de la imagen) que ya la imagen de por sí tiene bastante y es probable que no desee saturar más los verdes.
Excellent...I had seen another YT video on saturation masks where the commentator said to command-click on "the green channel" to create the mask. Just so happened that he was trying to saturate the greens in his image. I mistakenly believed that was why he said what he did. Now...with your explanation, I understand that the R, G, and B channels are remapped to H, S, and B (or L) properties, so the G channel is mapped to the S property. Now I get it! Thanks. This should be very useful for my wildlife and landscape photos.
This is amazing. Now I really got an idea on how to teach students the difference between HSB (HSV) and HSL with a more intuitive way as a teaching assistant :)
This is a perfect example of why you get different RGB values when you change your curve layers to luminosity/normal mode when you dodge and burn. Jesus this is fantastic!!! Can't believe I didn't know about this plugin.
Jesus, your command of Photoshop is unparalleled and you have taught me a lot. I am (and will continue to be) a big fan of your videos, but this one was beyond my cognitive limits. Yikes.
No worries, Frank! I considered just showing the steps to get the saturation mask but I decided to go for it and show it all. I know the technical stuff could be confusing. So just focus on the mask. No need to worry about the technical stuff. Thanks so much for the support!
One of the things I really like about you, Jesus, is that you not only tell what to do but why do it. Many Photoshop instructors tell you what but never the why! Thank you!
I came to learn one thing and ended up learning about five other. Not only did I learn some cool masking techniques, I learned quite a bit about color.
0:54 It is instructive to note that these are called alpha channels. They are EXTREMELY useful for advanced users. I believe they have been around since Ps 4. Layers were introduced way back in Ps 3 ... also, I believe that layer masks were introduced in v4. This was a long, long time ago (1999)
I did some tests with the brightness channel (blue) , made a mask, apply it on the layer and add a brightness adjustment layer on top of it and clip it to the layer below Now I adjust just the brightest parts of the image, you should have added that too to your video.
There's about two hours worth of stuff I could have added. I actually had to remove about 15 minutes of stuff just because it became too long and too technical. But what you describe is a great way of using the technique! Thanks for the comment!
Great tutorial. Because of the details (theory) you went through it was busy. But once I only focus on the method a light bulb when off. It's all about control. I also created a duplicate image and applied the vibrancy effect only and then compared the two methods/results up close and you can tell which gives the cleanest adjustment.
That's the kind of stuff that are really appreciate from your tutorials.... It's a nice introduction of HSB filter and the potential on mask... But I think it need another tutorials that go deeper into different use of it, with different image and not only with Hue saturation slider.
Muchas gracias, creo que hay un potencial enorme en lo que señalas. Usaré HSB en mis revelados para experimentar con color en mis imágenes. Muy reveladora tu información
Guy Gowan has been teaching this stuff for years. He uses HSL as an alternative to Hue and Saturation. He was also showing the importance of using channels as masks over a decade ago. Now you see all these videos purporting to have the magic answer, everyone going on about 'luminosity' masks like it's a new discovery.
I know what you mean. Sometimes, when I read some comments I find myself thinking "you should watch some of the old Natalia Taffarel's content, you'd be surprised" But It is normal that people who discover this for the first time think it's something new. It is really new for them. And Jesus Ramirez is doing an incredibly good job. He works hard, likes teaching and understands social media.
Hola muchas gracias por el tutorial , aprendo mucho con ellos , aun teniendo que usar el traductor de idiomas .Saludos . Felicidades . Gracias de nuevo
Hey Jesus!! Great vid!!! I used to photograph the Northern Lights a lot when I lived in Alaska. I can’t wait to try this technique out to slightly enhance some of my images! Thanks for your awesome tutorials.
What would the difference between using this method and simply using the Vibrance slider be? I feel the Vibrance control protects more of those less saturated areas compared to your method.
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannelIt would be helpful to put up a direct link since the Figma interface is completely unintuitive. Talk of "property panel" which cannot be found anywhere.....
Thanks, once again, Jesùs, for another ENLIGHTENING tutorial! Now I am wondering: Under what conditions might we use the HUE channel to make a layer mask?
One example would be if you want to target a specific color to either change it or enhance it. Hue is the base color, so maybe you have a photo with some green caused by a green screen. You could use the Hue channel to look for the green hues and target them. so you could figure out and select which shades of gray are green. then make a mask of them and paint over them or apply and adjustment layer. I hope that made sense!
Got it....but is there a way to know if any color sat adjustment made is too much and there are over-saturated pixels? I can tell somewhat of colors are over-run and lost the color variation...but if that does not occur, there still could be parts of an image with too much saturation. How much is too much saturation?
HSL = Hue, Saturation, 'Lightness'? I always thought that the L stood for Luminosity? In English, the words aren't interchangeable, not even close. Besides that, Great tutorial!
@PTC please correct me if I'm off with this reply. He used Saturation because he wanted to target All the tones. VIBRANCE - only focuses on the low saturated tones and the over-saturated tones not the mid-tones. SATURATION - increases or decreases saturation in all the tones at the same time.
@@milostintor4603 Correct they both increase and decrease saturation but do it completely differently. Example: Let's say you have a portrait of a young lady open in camera raw and her skin tones look perfect but her makeup is way to heavy and oversaturated. You can lower the vibrance of the image to decrease saturation in the makeup without affecting the skin. You could also push the vibrance to a point where the makeup and skin tone both have the same amount of saturation. Then use the saturation slider to increase both the makeup and skin tone at the same time. Does this make sense?
Yup, great explanation Lance. And remember this technique also allows you to make a mask out of hues, and brightness (or luminance). And Milos, there is nothing wrong with using Vibrance, that works great. I'm sure you've seen me use it thousands of times. This is just an advanced technique for when you really need to make specific adjustments.
I extracted the plugin into Photoshop CS6 plugin folder. However the plugin does not show up in the filter drop down list. ( I had closed Photoshop before doing the download. Thanks for your help
Can someone help me? I'm using Photoshop 2020 and my HSB color panel isnt not working as it should. Until yesterday was fine, I picked up any color at the H bar, move the S arrow trought the % bar and get the color transition at the B, but now it is stuck at the red HSB color and I cannot preview the saturation and brithness it used to show earlier. I tried to reset the panel, reset the Photoshop and got nothing. Any clues?
As an heavy photoshop user I like how your videos are all about the why's than the how's. Understanding what I am doing is so much more important than the way you do it. Thanks for the amazing tip. ;)
Great Technique! But what really impressed me was the alt click on previous used filter to edit!
Thank you, HybridCult!
That moment was 🔥!
this is a great tool ... I've achieved great edits just by using this tool and nothing else
I'm glad!!!

Great as usual. Just let me mention there is a mistake around min 17 - did not activate HSB layer before taking Chanel green mask.
thank you very much, a tutorial full of technical as well as practical information! very professional!
This Channel is on different level than all the other ones out there. Watching every videos. thank you very much.
This is a perfect example of why you get different RGB values when you change your curve layers to luminosity/normal mode when you dodge and burn. Jesus this is fantastic!!! Can't believe I didn't know about this plugin.
This awesome, didn’t know about this plugin, truly thank you man 😌😌
Truly thank you man, didn’t about this awesome plugin
Definitely...... some photoshop CHANNEL creators come here to learn ;)
Luminosity masks are covered much more than HSB/HSL in general. Thank you for these excellent tutorials.
You're welcome, WT!
Can I subscribe twice :) Thank you for the pearls
You are the man Jesus, my photos look so much better from following your wonderful tutorials. Keep up the good work.

@@TerryFarthing LOL
Very knowledgeable video.
But very confused in the color HSB & HSL.
Anyway very good information about colors.

I really learned a lot from your channel. You are the master that do not hide your knowledges. Thanks.
OK, I'm going to have to watch this one again!

It's all about knowledge and precise control i guess
Great tut, but the plugin link gives me a page not found message. Also, where in figma is that color picker?
Fixed the link! Figma is an online design app. Not related to Photoshop. I just used it because it has an HSB and HSL color picker.

Do you maby know what a mat type image is and how to recreate a normall image to that colour.
How close is the color adjustments in camera raw compared to this? I mean, this was not easy to grasp :)
Does anyone noticed that you made a misstake at 16:45
you load green channel instead of what you said.
Great, great tutorial !! Thanks!!
