How to Change the Color of Plants and Foliage in Photoshop

One of the most common and useful functions of Photoshop is the ability to change the color of different objects for creative effect. If you are shooting outdoor portraits, landscape photography, or anything else with plants or foliage, this excellent video tutorial will show you how to easily and convincingly change their color using Photoshop.

Coming to you from Aaron Nace with Phlearn, this great video tutorial will show you how to change the color of plants or foliage using Photoshop. This can be both an effective creative tool and a useful way to improve the look of things like dried foliage or distracting flower colors. For example, a lot of the time here in Ohio, the grass gets a bit scorched and dried out in the summer, causing it to look brown and yellow rather than lush and green. This can be quite distracting and unappealing and can detract from what might otherwise be a great photo. Luckily, it is not particularly difficult to fix this in Photoshop, and it is the kind of touch that can really make a difference in a shot and help you create a more cohesive look. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Nace.
