Vibrant Color Landscape

1. Open an image that you would like to manipulate. Make sure your image is in RGB mode. To check this, go to Image under the menu bar - Mode - RGB Color. Make a duplicate of this layer as you will be working on this layer going forward.

2. You will notice this image is dull and boring, we are going to bring it to life. So go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and crank the saturation till it looks visually correct. I am going to crank it up by 40 to give it a vibrant appearance.
3. Now adjust the Brightness/Contrast Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast we will use Brightness 7 / Contrast 8.
