The thing I don't care for in these LUT processed IR images is there is really only one color to the foliage in all of them. Nice bright colors, but I like more variety in the color in my IR work. These are shot with a 665 filter and red/blue channel swap, and then just working with saturation to bring out each color present in the capture.
Good point. Separating the colors and then changing them is quite a difficult task. It's easy to change global colors. But for local colors, they need to be masked (not easy with vegetation) and individually tweaked. I don't have a clue as to how to make this easy.
The attached image is a global color. I can swing the color anywhere I want to go with it. But to pick out certain plants and change just that plant, I just don't know how to do this.

I don't do any masking. I just set up a hue/saturation layer and go to each individual color channel slider and move it until each color is at a level I like. All the colors are there to enhance. I think the LUTs must make all the foliage one color and there aren't different colors to bring out.

It's really a dazzling shot, and IMHO, I wouldn't be concerned about changing anything since it is such a masterful shot as its baseline 🔥💎🔥💎🔥

Thank you. I think I'm achieving my goal of seeing how many different colors I can get in each image.

I think I need to see how you go about this. If I create a Hue/Saturation layer, how do you go about selecting the parts you want for that layer and erasing the parts you want. And then create another hue/saturation layer where you select something else, and so on. With all the plants, selecting can get really difficult.
Can you pick something really easy to show and do one or two hue/saturation layers and show what you are doing?
Thanks

It's a lot easier than that. It's one Hue/Saturation layer for the whole image and all the colors. Under the Master drop-down menu are all the color channels. I usually slide each saturation slider all the way over to see where that color is in the image, and then back off until it's where I like it. Now this works for me with a 665 filter and a white balance on sunlit grass, and the red/blue channel swap. I don't know if it would work with a different filter or white balance.
