Hi all!
I'm new to PS and I really need some help on how to make the skin tone more warmer and the colours more vivid for wedding pics. So the greens of the grass and the trees must be green, the flowers' red and yellow must shout and the skin soft and warm looking!
I added a pic that looks great! That's what I have in mind...
Is there any easy and quick way to do it or other existing links on this?
Please, any help would be much apreciated!
Thanks!

Post the picture you want to make more vibrant.. somebody here will stear you right...But right off the bat the usual things that help are: Curves (pulling slightly from the center toward the left top corner) and using the Hue/Saturation adjustment. Pulling the saturation to the right.
Good luck,
Lasa

Yes short answer is yes, it's actually very easy, go to image/ajustments/hue saturation, and slide the saturaation bar to the right, this will increase the saturation (for richer colours.
You could also "warm" the image with the photo filter orange or 81 filter (in CS and CS2 and maybe the later elements) you can also fine velvia actions around for free, these will give a more saturated effect.
I have to say though the pic you posted here looks over saturated to me on my monitor. Wayne

Is this 'n free plug that I can download somewhere or is it in CS2?
It did download the demo of Alien Skin's exposure though and the "Warm and saturate colours" preset works really good! But jeez that's an expensive plug, but I also do realize you get alot of additional features in it.
Is there any other plugs that does the same as Exposure? Otherwize I'll just have to buy it I suppose...
I also did use the orange (81) warming filter in CS2, but it's a bit weak against the Exposure plug...
I must say, you guys' friendly and helpful attitude on this forum is so refreshing! Thanks for that!

The velvia action is around free try searching here (it's not in PS allready)
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?t=5, look at the actions and plugins (theres a lot) I'm pretty sure it's there somewhere, you do have to register to download, but theres no hassle form them or junk mail etc .
Also check out virtual photographer plug-in, free from http://www.optikvervelabs.com/
It has a couple of warm/saturated glamour type setting if I remember rightly. Wayne
