What's there?
I got confused: there's deep shadows, the photo is blue, but shadows unsaturated as if they are not exposed to filling of color. Please, give me advice in what direction to move in photoshop

Re: What's there?
Deep shadows are often poorly differentiated by the camera sensor, which filters light into three overlapping wavelength bands. Those shadows have less light, and they are deep enough that the sensor doesn't generate a significant difference in response between the three. Shadows should not be saturated in general. People usually only try to apply a tint to them if they want to approximate the look of a specific film base.
Regarding photoshop, you're looking at two separate adjustments. The sky is weighted toward blue. The foreground and trees are weighted toward a purplish color, so still blue with less green. It would take me several layers to get the right transitions and stuff. The saturation is stronger in the brighter midtones than anywhere else, but a single adjustment over any given region may not produce the desired transitions from highlight to shadow.
See this thread as well. I disagree with many of Tulack's statements, but that strategy is easier than the way I would attempt it. -

I tried to post this pic as a regular pic at flickr, but one of my friends picked up that it was a composite. When I asked her how she knew, she said (re the dogs), "Their paws are not pressed into the grass". Now I did give the dogs shadows, plus I used the smudge tool to pull grass up...08-11-2011, 07:47 AM

Hey all,
I'm planning a series of shoots that, because of the logistics of running a shoot in the actual locations it's going to be easier to shoot the backgrounds and then shoot people on greenscreen. I'm well aware of the potential pitfalls of this method (such as matching perspectives,...02-26-2010, 10:16 AM -
So, that's the effect (and term) that's been around for a while (like the other things I learn here - D/B, inverted high pass etc). But, I still can't figure out how to do it.
Can somebody please explain again how to achieve yellowish highlights and bluish shadows in pure Photoshop that we see...05-16-2013, 11:40 AM
