This one was fun, except I kept trying to mask the green of the trees and kept getting blue. I gave up on that part of my edit. dt 3.2.1

I wanted to make the greenery more green, with a bit of masking to keep the yellow hues yellow on the main building. I’m sure it’s less true to life, but I like the colour contrast between what’s natural and what’s constructed

The really hard part about working on pictures like this (for me) is separating “sky” from “not sky”. Green leaves are easy. Bare branches, utility lines, utility poles are hard. @dqpcoxeas and @Roger.Wilco look like nice edits to review in detail.

Could someone please teach me how to mask the sky in this photo? We could start a new thread so as not to ruin this topic.
I have been through Boris’s videos, but he does things so quickly and easily that I just don’t get the details. He draws a mask rapidly, and when I try that, I just get a mess. I also tried doing it parametrically by the color of the clouds, but that seems to take in almost all of the photo. I don’t even understand which masking tool to try to use (i.e., circle, brush, etc).

Ok, here is what I have been trying to do: more contrast from the trees and down, and less contrast in the clouds. I managed to get my mask looking pretty good with a brush and fooling with the feathering radius and blur radius. But, there is still a “glow” above the trees at the far left. The mask looks right to my eye, but it seems to not be in effect in that small area.
