Bold colours can really help to make an image pop, whether on screen or in print. But sometimes the colours in a photo can come out disappointingly weak or lacking in punch. Thankfully, there are lots of ways to tease out the colour and give our images greater impact, and one such tool is the HSL adjustment in Affinity Photo. HSL stands for Hue, Saturation and Luminosity, and the tool gives us independent control over these three parameters. Hue lets us shift a colour to something different, Saturation lets us control the intensity of the colour, and Luminance lets us adjust the brightness.
