You may have seen leaves or grass with unusual color and you may just wonder how we can use Photoshop to change color of leaf, grass or anything. Basically, I just simply use “Hue/Saturation” in Photohsop to do this job. Anyway, please see my before and after shot as shown below (the forest is changed from green leaf forest to autumn forest);
When you take photos, your sky may not as blue as you like. This problem can be solving by processing your photos in Photoshop. This post will demonstrate you how to get better blue sky (more dark blue tone) by applying gradient and blending layer property. Anyway, please take a look at before/after shot as listed below.
You may have a problem in regard to capture high contrast photos especially landscape photos. When you try to get the right exposure for the sky, the ground bill be dark and you lose details. On the other hand, if you try to get the right exposure for the ground, your sky will be washed out (lost of details). In order to fight with this situation, you may consider using graduated ND filter so you can balance exposure between the sky and the ground but you need to pay extra money for that.
Well, this problem can be solved with Photoshop. Firstly, you need to take photos with RAW format because you can get more information from RAW instead of normal JPG format. Then, you convert your RAW file into 2 JPG files and merge them together by Adobe Photoshop. Anyway, please be informed that this method is good for differences between the sky and the ground just only 2-3 stops. If you have extreme contrast between them, you may need to shoot many exposures and merge them together into one High Dynamic Range photo (HDR).

When you take photo with wide angle lens, you can easily see that your architecture is always converging vertical. There are 2 options to correction this situation as follows:
1. Use Tilt&Shift lens. With this option, you can correction the perspective completely straight from your camera but Tilt&Shift lens is very costly.
2. Use Adobe Photoshop. I normally use Adobe Photoshop to cope with this problem.
On this post, I will share the easy way to use Adobe Photoshop to correct perspective due to wide angle lens.
