Damien Symonds Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Oh gee Renee, you've got a greater problem than a muddy river here. Please go here to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Unfortunately it's not possible to change muddy water to blue water. I get asked this all the time. You see, if water was blue, it would have to be clear. And if it was clear, you'd be able to see (a) through it to the bed to a degree, and (b) more reflections. If you change brown to blue, it doesn't look like clear, nice water, it looks like nuclear waste. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdelaideFamilyPhotographer Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Ok thanks for advising on the water. I noticed the link you sent me about colour space. This is a print-optimized file, so the colour space is in Adobe RGB. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yes, only an sRGB screen. PLEASE don't attempt to play with colours that neither your screen can show you, nor your lab print. Change your workflow to sRGB immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
