[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 622026, member: 13090"] Well I don't think there's any right or wrong answer here... You have to decide, as the photographer, how you want your photo to look. The adjustment you are performing modifies the color balance and overall saturation in your image. More specifically you'll see by default the "Yellow Boost" preset moves the Hue slider TOWARD the Blue end of the spectrum by +5 which is what creates the additional Yellow in the Yellow Boost preset since Blue is the opposite of Yellow on the color wheel. The other adjustment applies is to Saturation at +20; again assuming you are using the "Yellow Boost" preset defaults. This particular adjustment "boosts" all the colors of the image overall equally, yellow included, by 20 points. Now, making those adjustments is not something anyone can say is "right" or "wrong"; it's a matter of personal taste and what you are trying to communicate in your photo. Just as a suggestion, you might want to use the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer from the Adjustments Panel instead of going to Image -> Adjustments. Using the Adjustments Panel will automatically add a white layer-mask allowing you to control where the adjustment is applied as well as give you access to the "Opacity" option to control how strong the adjustment is applied. It's two ways of doing the same thing, but using the Adjustment Layer panel gives you far more control over how the final product appears. [/QUOTE]
