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 1. Open the photo
you want to work with.
Step 2. Go to word "Image"
on the menu across the top
(Arrow A). Go down to
"Adjustments" (Arrow B),
then go over and down to
"Hue/Saturation"
(Arrow C).
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.
(Arrow C).
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.

So if you ever wondered
how some photographers
always seem to have rich
vibrant colors, now you
know one of the tricks of
the trade.
Did they use a polarizer?
Did they use photoshop?
That is the question.
