HSL

Filmora's HSL Eyedropper (Color Picker) on macOS helps editors fine-tune colors with greater accuracy by sampling tones directly from the video frame. Rather than relying on preset color ranges, users can precisely target the exact shade they want to modify.

This makes it easier to enhance skin tones without affecting surrounding areas, apply cinematic color styles to skies or water, and maintain consistent brand colors across multiple clips. It's a great fit for creators who regularly work with color adjustments.

Steps to Use the HSL Eyedropper on Mac

Filmora for Mac simplifies color grading by eliminating manual color selection. Follow the steps below to apply the HSL Eyedropper effectively.

Step 1. Start a New Project
