Add A Pop To Foliage With A Brush Effect In Lightroom

There are a lot of yellow tones in green. A classic approach for a pop to foliage, moss, or other greens in a photo is to shift the yellow hue toward green in the HSL panel. However, HSL affects the entire photo. Sometimes you need more targeted work. The local adjustment tools in Lightroom are perfect for this. Use a shift in hue and a color range mask and you have a powerful yet easy to use brush to paint in a green pop where you need it. Also, save your settings as a custom effect!
