Playing With Color Post-Production

Focal Length 24mm
Aperture 22
Shutter 1/100 sec.
ISO 250

The easiest way to adjust the colors of your photograph is to isolate each color channel and adjust them one at a time.  The tint of the photo can also be adjusted.  Try it before and after making color adjustment.  Playing with the color temperature is also an easy way to adjust the color.  Generally speaking, when you shoot the sky with a lower color temp Ex. 3500k (kelvin)  you will have a blue/bluish look.   If you shot around say 8000k you will have more of an Orangish look.  Playing with the tint and the color temp. is a great way to give your photos more of a vintage, or film look.
