Hue and Saturation without losing the Exposure

  • Adjust the Levels, (Image>Adjustments>Levels).
  • Make sure the levels range is set to fit the range of color, for this photo I had to move the right end of the levels range in to fit the colors.
  • Change the Image Mode to Lab Color, (Image>Mode>Lab Color).
  • Create a New Curves Adjustment Layer, (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Curves).
  • Change to Channel a
  • Move the corner adjusters in approximately one square, you may wish to adjust them more or less depending on the photo.
  • Change to Channel b
  • Move the corner adjusters in approximately half a square, you may wish to adjust them more or less depending on the photo.
