Problem: I am learning post-processing in photography. Among these two images, one is the original image and the other is the post-processed version. I first made a basic adjustment of boosting the exposure of the original image, and then I felt confused about the adjustment directions of the subsequent parameters. Please tell me how to adjust the following parameters—contrast, white levels, black levels, color temperature (cool/warm tone), hue/saturation mixer (red channel) saturation, and hue/saturation mixer (yellow channel) saturation—to achieve this post-processed version, where only qualitative judgments are required, with no need for quantitative adjustments.
Answer: Increase the contrast, decrease the white levels, increase the black levels, set the color temperature to a cooler tone, boost the saturation of the red channel in the hue/saturation mixer, and reduce the saturation of the yellow channel in the hue/saturation mixer.
