There are also some links inside individual tutorials to equivalent Photoshop tutorials for those who might want to note the difference in methods / approaches / commands.

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/adjust-vibrance.html

Explains clearly and simply one of Photoshop's most useful and subtle tools:

Books all do terrible jobs trying to describe what Adobe has done so clearly on this link.
