ENHANCE YOUR COLORS


01


FIX COLOR CASTS
It can be tricky to
balance out the red, green
and blue flashes to combine
to white, so you may find
during editing that your
images display a color cast.
You can remove color casts
with the White Balance
Tool in Camera Raw or
Lightroom. Click on a point
that you want to be neutral,
like our backdrop here.


02


ENHANCE COLORS
Some of the colors
may look weaker than
others. Go to the Color
Mixer Panel in Camera Raw
or Lightroom and click the
Saturation tab, then grab
the Target Tool. Next,
click and drag to the right
over colors in the image to
target and enhance color
ranges. Experiment with
the Luminance of colors too.


03


SEPARATE
THE SUBJECT
If you find it hard to balance
out the subject with the
backdrop, you can edit each
separately. Open the shot in
Photoshop, then go to Select



Subject. Duplicate to a
new layer with Cmd/Ctrl+J,
then use Color Balance (Cmd/
Ctrl+B) to edit the subject, or
switch to the bottom layer to
edit the backdrop.
