What is HUE, Saturation, Brightness and Luminance!

A thorough explanation of HUE, Brightness and Saturation. How to use it in photo editing as well as in computer programming. There are a couple of color wheels that exist and using the correct one will make you better understand HUE.

HUE really is one of the key ingredients in understanding color fully. It's the foundation onto which all the rest of color theory is built.

This videos deserves more views.What an excellent explanation you delivered!

[marcellennartz]

This was really great. I am colourblind and have difficulties seeing differences with many colors. However your straight forward explanation helps a lot how all things work together as originally for me I always thought that any change to HUE or SATURATION creates a new color.

Excellent video!! Very well explained. And the best part is that it does not contain any annoying, over excited online talk. music, expressions and "sharing" that is so common of the videos now-a-days. Great job Steve.

Awesome, I have been using photoshop and lightroom and some of the techniques you mentioned in this video without actually knowing the science of colors. now everything is clear for me! This will help to adjust colors better next time! thanks!

[emerana]

this really helped it click to understand colour in video and photo editing a lot more (especially the non-existent magenta)

[malthaelaoc]

Absolutely fantastic explanation! Thank you, Steve.. I am an infrastructure engineer and am extremely knowledgeable about the workings of computers, but recently started developing interest in digital photography as a hobby.. and was confused with the terminology. Now I know what hue is :)
