Use f Camera RAW and Adjustment Layers with Layer Masks t enhance clr. 6. Technical ability fr Camera RAW & Phtshp basic wrkflw.
Part 1: Clr Harmny: 1. Sht at least 1 scene that uses a clr scheme that emphasizes harmny. These include analgus clr schemes. The majrity f the clrs in the scene shuld fllw this clr scheme. Example Clr Schemes include: Blue, Blue-Green, Green Yellw, Yellw-Green, Green Yellw, Orange, Red Part 2: Clr Cntrast: 1.

Images sht at night r in shadws can lk mainly blue. Images sht in bright midday can lk mainly yellw. Images sht at sunrise r sunset can lk mainly range, vilet, red-vilet Remember that yu need tnal cntrast t make this wrk.
Cl Clrs Vs. Warm Clrs This wrks best if the majrity f the image has ne side f the clr wheel, and the minrity f the image has the ther side f the clr wheel. Cmplementary Clrs (Cmmn Examples) Orange / Blue Red / Green Yellw / Vilet Saturatin Cntrast Think abut having ne saturated r vibrant hue next t a scene that has mainly muted clrs.
