In the Mastering Exposure and Tone chapter we looked at ways to make global tonal adjustments to your photo using the Basic and Tone Curve panels. We also discussed how you can affect colors using the Vibrance and Saturation sliders in the Basic panel. Next up is the HSL / Color / B&W panel, which is an incredibly powerful and flexible tool for fine-tuning the colors in your photo. The HSL, Color, and B&W panel is actually three panels in one (Figure 1). The HSL (stands for hue, saturation, and luminance) and Color sections of the panel are really just the same set of controls presented in different ways to give you the power to adjust the hue, saturation, and luminance values of different colors in your photo. The B&W section of the panel is for converting a color photo to black and white (refer back to the Black and White Photos with Impact section in the previous chapter of this book to learn about B&W conversion).

I like your Lightroom 5 book very much. However, one issue remains unaddressed. In the section on Exporting, you suggest that it is possible to send multiple Lightroom images to Photoshop 6 (for example) using the Edit In function and complete editing in CS6. However, neither I nor anyone I know has been able to send more than one image at a time which results in chewing up a lot of time. So, maybe you all left that small item out of the book and, if so, it would be VERY much appreciated if you have an explanation of how to move these multiple images from one place (LR5) to another — Photoshop. Thank you….
Hi Dan,
Glad you find the book helpful. Anytime you want to do batch/bulk actions like those you have 2 options. Option 1, select all the photos while in Grid view of the Library module and then apply the thing you want to do (in this case Photo > Edit in > Edit in Photoshop), or from the Filmstrip, make your selection and then right-click (Mac, ctrl-click) the photos in the Filmstrip and choose the option from the contextual menu.
