ers. The lower layer contains the main Green Enhance effect. The default opacity is set<br />

<strong>to</strong> 50%. As you increase the opacity of this layer, the green colors, especially the dark<br />

greens, will lighten. Above this is the Green Saturation layer. The default opacity for the<br />

Saturation layer is 25%. This provides a gentle saturation boost <strong>to</strong> the greens in the picture.<br />

By adjusting the layer opacity you can make the green saturation stronger or<br />

weaker. The Green Darken effect targets the green colors in an image and is also effective<br />

on landscapes and woodland scenes where you wish <strong>to</strong> make the green colors<br />

richer.<br />

Green Darken + Mask/Green Lighten + Mask<br />

The Green Enhance layer is au<strong>to</strong>matically masked during the Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit <strong>Color</strong> process<br />

and in most cases this does a very good job of deleting everything except those green<br />

colors we wish <strong>to</strong> see enhanced. If you apply the Green Darken + Mask/Green Lighten<br />

+ Mask effect, the mask is preserved as a layer mask, which masks the Green Enhancement<br />

layer (the Green Saturation layer does not require a mask). The reason we<br />

provide this additional effect is that some users may prefer <strong>to</strong> edit this mask <strong>to</strong> fine-tune<br />

the <strong>Color</strong> Enhance adjustment.
