Applying Hue & Saturation Effects in Photoshop

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jimmy Hartman with Expert Village. In this clip we're going to be applying a hue and saturation effect on another adjustment layer to bring out subtle difference in our color of reflections in the water. Basically, I want to bring those colors out of it more, so we'll apply an adjustment layer. This time we'll use hue and saturation. This will take whatever color you want, whatever the range of colors, and you can adjust the hue which is basically the color it is on this color graft here. You can change a blue to a purple, to a red, etc. You can adjust your saturation which increases or decreases the amount of that color that shows through. I'll go into demonstrate. We'll go into select; I believe magentas here will be this color. Let me try the reds. If we bring up our saturation you can see those reds coming out there a bit more, and if we lower back down, they come down. We just need a little bit of this effect just to bring that out. We'll stop about there, and we can also change our hue if we want to. As you can see, we've adjusted the actual color of it, but we don't want that so we'll leave it the same color it was originally. Preview, and it brought it out a little bit; little details make the difference. Click ok, and now again. That entire filter has been applied to the whole image. It doesn't look too bad, but your reds over here are kind of overbearing. So we can mask off what we don't want, so let's use our black brush, and we'll make sure our mask is selected, and we'll paint off the effect that we don't want. We can let it blend in to this red here, or to the purples of the mountains. That added a nice little touch over in this area too, as well as bringing those out."
