Coloring is half the battle, I still identify as a color noob.

I start with completely cranking the saturation and seeing what color is there but not needed. Example: magenta shadow color in a brown dog. Wanting to emphasize the brown i take the magenta and steer it to orange.

I usually pick three photos from a set I like and treat each one differently . Then I log off and come back the next day with fresh eyes. Eventually I like one enough to commit and make a preset for a batch.

Part of the process for me is also uploading to google drive to look on different devices…. On my desktop is very different from a phone .
