Selective colour, sort of

This image i posted in this months Mono, i didnt like the colour of the swans feathers due to the morning light, played with it as a selective colour version.

I didn't see the original but are you shooting in RAW? If not its worth consider as Raw files are far easier to adjust colour than jpeg

Are you using Lightroom or Photoshop as you can, rather than using global adjustments, select a specific colour to reduce / subtract ?

How do you do that Colin? Do you select a colour using magic wand

LR and PS are slightly different but if you are using Photoshop to process your RAW files use the various icons that run along the top as shown. You can also use image/adjustments/select colour from the top bar and choose neutral/colour (I'llpost a pic later)

Thanks Colin . I’ll give it a go.
