HelloPiccadilly, a simple Hue/Sat adjustment layer will work fine. Just select the yellow channel, narrow the range by adjusting the rainbow sliders and adjust the Hue. Parts of the car will be affected so when you are finished just invert the layer mask which is already on the Hue/Sat adj layer nad paint across the grass with a white brush. Also don't forget to brush over the wheel cover or the reflection of the grass won't match.

I have added a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Popped up the menu and selected yellows, then used the eye dropper to select a light section of the grass. Used the hue slider to adjust toward more green. I then masked out the car fender to remove the correction from the adjustment.

Or, you can use the selective color tool and then mask the car color back in.

Or
i used a 50% grey layer set to overlay and painted with a green at about 15% opacity

I did use a brightish green as i thought it went with the other bits of image better

I used replace color brush... sampled the green and painted the areas that needed green.

Hue/Sat to deepen the greens
select colour - the yellowish gress - change hue
add some contrast

Use fertilizer and water the lawn

I use quick selection tool and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer in photoshop.

wow!!
I didn't expect so many answers!! I'm really appreciated. Thank you everyone. I'll try all of them)

Sure no problem. Scotts Turf builder with weed control works great, you can get it at Lowes. Also best to water at night so the sun doesn't dry up the water

Here is a go with 3 selective color adjustment layers.

Made new layer and use sample of green from original. Made a mask and painted using about 65%.

HUE in colorize mode?

lynn55 · #16 10-10-2009, 12:17 PM

No, I did not set HUE in colorize mode.
