Landscape

This exercise is a little difficult in achieving the exact color as the reference image but I have tried to get the colors as close as possible to the reference image. I have applied the techniques learnt from the primary and secondary color correction tutorials.

Before:

After:

Using the full interface of Color Finesse 3, I have done some editing in the 3 tabs (the HSL, Curves and Secondary tab).

1. Some adjustments were made in the master control

I have the adjusted the Hue, increased the Gamma and Pedestal:
2. Editing of the curves/points
Curves > RGB:
3. Select the colors in the footage with the color picker for some specific parts
4. Show preview to check if you have picked the right color
5. Adjust softness, hue offset, saturation, gain and gamma

Secondary > A (for the land):
Secondary > B (for the sky):
6. Lastly, in HSL > Hue Offsets, i have adjusted the shadows to make it look more natural.
