3 Tips For Editing GREENS
Spring is here for the Northern Hemisphere and summer is right around the corner-- you know what that means? Green grass, green trees, green shrubs... and hopefully no green casts on skin, but they are hard to avoid! Photographers know that editing greens is a delicate balance-- too much green and your subjects will be in a neon jungle, but too much desaturation and you'll have grays instead of greens!
Don't get jaded-- check out these sage tips for editing greens in photos!
TIP #1: Use a Subject or Person mask in the masking panel to isolate your subject and adjust their skin tone using the Hue slider to correct green casts!
**Bonus Tip** Click on "Use Fine Adjustment" when adjusting Hue in a Mask so you have more control over the change!
TIP #2: Mix & Match presets and profiles to create the perfect greens in your image!
