The key to making the most of your autumn photos, says Remelli, is to edit the photograph locally, not with global settings. By using the various methods of localized editing present in Lightroom, Remelli uses the Hue and Saturation sliders to subtly bring to life the colors of the trees and sky in his example image.

It’s a pretty basic tutorial and the final look may be different from your tastes, but if you’re not super familiar with Lightroom yet, the tutorial offers a look at some of the things you can do with colors.
