I adjust colors by using the eyedropper {white and black} in 'level'. I usually add a slight 's' curve to let the color pop, then fade as needed. For scenic/sturctures/animals...etc , I often adjust saturation (+5 to +20). I also almost always run USM filter {depends on photos, but usually I add a slight sharpening at about 30, 3.0, 0 {although usually more on photographs with no human subject} <---LOL! that sounds funny
oh...and I usually just play with the photos for colors and such. Thanks for asking...love to read everyone's interesting techniques
