Last friday, i've gone to the lake with a friend to take a few pictures for an upcoming competition. The first step to photo shopping these pictures was to exaggerate the colours in this image. I simply brought up the saturation in "adobe lightroom" to convert the "raw" images. I then added a sunset effect but adding a orange radial gradient along the horizon of the lake/city. Next, I exaggerated the blues in the water by using a hue/saturation mask and pumping up the blues/cyans. After, I slightly sharpened a few focal points such as the subject and the rocks to bring the viewers attention across the whole image. And finally, I added a vignette by using the circular marquee tool and selecting the area I wanted the effect to be. Then, I "feathered" the selection and used the blending mode "multiply". I made a mask from the selection then inverted it to finalized the "vignette" effect.
I've learned these techniques from a youtube channel called "Phlearn". The video below shows somewhat the same thing, but with a cute puppy dog.
