How to TUNE COLORS Only on Select Areas in Lightroom and Snapseed Free Apps | Android | iOS

Today we are gonna bring some colors of the Spring using free features in Lightroom and

Snapseed apps.

• Here after importing this image into Lightroom, I am gonna crop this to get this nice composition.
• Now going to Light menu, some basic tuning.
• Reducing Highlights to bring some details back in the sky.
• Also increasing Whites to make the brighter parts pop.
• This I am gonna save it as a separate copy.
• Next to the Color menu>MIX for HSL sliders.
• Here I will be targeting the leaves on the tree, will try to convert to pinkish color.
• There are actually two colors yellow and greens for which we will be changing the hues.
• We will move these colors to magenta here in the color mix.
• Now I am gonna move the yellow hues towards green, green hues towards aqua.
• There are not much aquas here, so will ignore it.
• You can see the colors changing.
• Now I am gonna save this image.
• I will import it again as a separate edit.
• Now opening it and going to color menu mix.
• Now moving the green and aqua hues towards right to aqua and blues respectively.
• Again saving this and importing again.
• Will do this couple more times till I reach magenta.
• Here's the result.
• After saving this, I am gonna open Snapseed app and import the first saved image.
• Using Double Exposure, adding the last saved image of this.
• Setting the opacity at 100.
• Applying it.
• Going to masking screen.
• Here with the image hidden and brush value set at 100, brushing on the tree to get the
• spring colors.
• Now will do few more edits to make the overall image pop.
• First Selective filters.
• One on the tree to make the colors brighter and also bit more saturated.
• One on the yellows to make them pop.
• Next one selective filter around the middle on the sky to make it bright.
• Now will add vignette with the Vintage filter and preset 12.
• Going to masking screen, removing the effect on the tree and bit on the foreground to make
• it more interesting.
• Next one selective filter around the middle on the sky to make it bright.
• Using Curves, I am gonna lift the blacks.

• Now in the masking screen, applying it around the center to get this nice effect.
• Again going to Curves, will try to add some color to the highlights.
• Adding some yellows.
• Also reds for orangish tones.
• This will mainly affect the bright spot in the middle to get this look.

• In the color menu mix, moving the green hues more towards yellow.
• Trying to brighten the magentas.
