Photoshop question- bringing out colours?

In photoshop, how would you bring out the colour in certain objects (for example, in a forest picture, making a tree's leaves greener)?

Select the leaves with the magic wand tool and/or the magnetic lasso tool if using Photoshop CS2 or older



if using CS3 use the quick select tool (The new version of the magic wand)



Go to Image ==%26gt; Adjustments ==%26gt; Color Balance.



Then move the slider from the center toward the green..



You may need to add a bit of yellow and cyan from the other 2 sliders..... play with it until you find something you like and then hit OK....



Thats it :)



You can use that to enhance any color that you like (Eyes in portraits)

select the areas you wish to alter then increase the saturation.
If this works for your particular picture, it's the easiest way. Otherwise, use the more detailed directions provided by the others who already answered.



Hit [CTRL]+[U] to bring up the saturation menu.



In the Edit window, drop down the menu and choose "Green"



Slide the saturation level over until you have the desired effect.



If you don't have any green in the picture other than the leaves, it won't take too much.



Try doing the same thing with Levels. Drop the menu down, choose green, and then move the midtone and/or highlight slider to the left a bit.
I swear there are 100 different ways to do one particular thing in photoshop. :-) It's a personal preference and it depends on the photo. On top of all of the answers here, you could also use the Selective Color menu to adjust the green's specifically without having to do too many selections with a magic wand or anything crazy like that. It's simple and very effective!



Good Luck!
Use the channel mixer.
