How to enhance the 'green' in vegetation?


	Trail - 1 Jnaneshwar Surabathula

I shot this image in a wooded trail with moss everywhere. But I feel it lacks the 'green glow' in the image?
How can I enhance the green colors in vegetation?
I'd appreciate any helpful responses.
Thanks.

Hi ,

I would tweak the Color balance/Curves and/or Saturation until I was satisfied.

Have fun!

Color balance anc contrast.....do you have Photoshop? Or Corel paint pro? those would help....watch your ISO and your FStop......either could be too high.
took the liberty but it was not very clear.....hope you don't mind.....

In Photoshop, go to the Enhancment menu, then "Enhance Colors". In the Hue/Saturation box, use the drop down box and click on YELLOW. Then slide the saturation slider to the right until you get the green you want.

Thanks for the response!
I thought we could fix it when taking the image itself without resorting to adjusting it on PS.
I shall try and post it again.
Good work Debbie!

	"green glow" W.

Well, if you want to "fix it when taking the image itself without resorting to adjusting it on PS", you may want to try playing around with a polarizer filter (tripod!) and a few different exposures (auto-bracketing).

And if you would choose to combine the best of both worlds you could apply those different exposures into an HDR image with as much green 'glow' as you like.
