I don’t have to explain. Its all in the title. Take a picture and turn it into one that was clicked in Autumn…
Step 1: Fire up Photoshop and open your image. Make sure you have some trees in the picture, green trees preferably.

Step 2: Duplicate the Background Layer (Ctrl+J)
Step 3: With the Background Copy Layer selected, go to Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer.

Reduce the “Blue� to -200%. Keep the Red at 100%. Increase the Green to whatever is right. I hit the sweet spot at about 116%.
You are done. But if you want to give it a half-autumn look, then follow on.

Step 4: Go to Layer > Add Vector Mask > Reveal All. There is also a add layer mask button at the bottom left of the layers palette.
Step 5: Then press “D� to reset your colour palette. Go to Filter > Render > Clouds. This will give a half green, half yellow look.
If you feel there is too much of green after giving the clouds filter, change our background colour from “Black� to “Grey�.
