Photo Color Saturation
By:  Tedric Garrison

   
Sometimes through no fault of your own the pictures you like on
    a particular shoot just seem a little flat.  The pose may be good,
    the cropping may be good, but if the color isn't there . . . it can
    still come across as, well . . . boring.  Photoshop to the rescue!

Step 3.  This brings up the
    Hue/Saturation dialog box.
    Here you can adjust the
    Hue (Arrow A) and or
    Saturation (Arrow B) to
    bring more natural colors
    into your subject.

Step 4.  You will notice
   there is a lightness slider
   bar in the above dialog
   box. Do NOT use that.
   It comes across as muted.

   Instead go to the word
   "Image" on the menu at
   the top (Arrow A), go
   down to "Adjustments"
    (Arrow B), then go over
    and down to the words
    "Brightness/Contrast"
    (Arrow C)

Step 5.  By using the
 
brightness/contrast dialog
   box you get much richer
   results. Use the bright-
   ness slider bar (Arrow A)
   to enrich over all tone.
   Use the contrast slider
   bar for deep blacks that
   will jump right off the
   page.
