Adding saturation selectively

“

- [Instructor] Saturation adds intensity and punch to photos. But skin often looks bad if it's super-saturated. Apply it selectively with the brush tool. Make a large brush, and paint over the areas you want more saturation. Pull the saturation slider to the right. A quick way to see where you've painted is to hover over the pin until the mask shows up, or turn on the mask overlay. Then you can paint over areas you've missed, or erase spots that don't need the effect. Once the mask is in place, hide the overlay, and let's add another effect. Add some clarity. Add another brush to do adjustments in other areas. Reset the effects to their default values, and make adjustments. By having the brushes separate, you can better control the kind, and the amount of the adjustment.
