A Local Adjustment and the Paint With Color option are perfect to color grade your photos. I like to use this technique for my landscape photos. Paired with the masking and blending options, the moods and treatments you can create are endless.

Watch the video to see the technique in action. In brief:

• Add a Local Adjustment and choose Paint With Color

• Add a Luminosity Mask to the local adjustment

• Lower the Opacity of the local adjustment (10-20 is a good start)

• Select the color and adjust to taste

• Explore the Blending Options to see how they affect the color grading
