Photography is a subtractive method.

In this photo, there are only three colors: yellow, green and brown. Choose green as the main color, in order to reflect the fresh theme, chooses a simple color later on the simpler palette.

Having a major color direction can make your color adjustment more orderly and not blind. Let's look at the before and after color palette.

(1) Adjust the color temperature and tone. In order to make the picture fresh, it is absolutely impossible to make the picture yellow or red, so adjust the color temperature according to the need to pull the color temperature to the cold direction, and adjust the color tone to the cold direction.

(2) Adjust exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows appropriately according to the tone of the photos, and make specific adjustments according to your own photos without fixed parameters.

(3) Tonal curve. It should be noted that if the highlights are adjusted in the basic palette by a large margin, the highlights in the RGB channel should be adjusted in a small range or not. If both methods of pressing dark highlights are used, the picture will be dull and gray.

(4) Color adjustment. Since there are few colors in the picture, the main color is green. Therefore, I only adjusted green and light green in the hue.

(5) color separation, or around the fresh theme, highlights and green, in order to balance the picture, the dark part of the appropriate yellow.

(6) Next is sharpening. Sharpening is also important. Proper sharpening will increase the texture of the image. The white part is the sharpening part.

(7) Camera calibration, improve the blue saturation can increase the dark details.
