Selective colour
Bringing joy to your photographs
If you are an amateur underwater photographer or even a land photographer and you wonder how the professionals manage to shoot photographs with really blue water, we are going to show you how.

Getting the colour right can make the difference between a good photograph and a bad one. Most bad photographs come down to incorrect colour temperature or white balance. We normally utilize three ways to change or correct colour of an image.
The Lesson
Step 1. 
Open your image in Adobe Photoshop.

Step 2. 
Select Image from top menu.

Step 3. 
Scroll down and select Selective Colour.

Step 4. 
Choose Cyan in the colours selection to improve the initial stage of the blue tone :: Decrease the yellow (as you do this you will see the dull greenish blue becoming more of a rich blue) As you can see the process with the images below.
