Frequently Asked Questions

What does HSL stand for?

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It's a color model that provides a more intuitive way to adjust colors compared to the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) model.

When should I use HSL adjustments?

HSL adjustments are perfect for correcting color casts, making colors more or less vibrant, or creating artistic color effects. For example, you can use it to make the blue in a sky more intense or to tone down a distracting color.

Can I reset the adjustments if I make a mistake?

Yes, you can reset each slider to its default value (0) to remove its effect. To start over completely, simply re-apply the adjustments with the sliders at their default positions.
