Photoshop Match Color

Using Photoshop's "Match Color" tool brings out the color in your astro image. This tool is typically added during the final steps in processing.

The use of this tool is simple. Click IMAGE --> ADJUSTMENTS --> MATCH COLOR...

 

From the Match Color Screen Slide the "Color Intensity" knob to your taste. I like using values from 120 to 130.

 

Here are some examples, and values:

130

160

200

As with any tool, adjust to your personal taste.

Don't use Hue/Saturation! Use "Match Color" next time to enhance your astro image color!
