This a Very good method, I know a lot of you will find very useful..


Open your image with Photoshop.
set it to Lab Color by going to Image > Mode > Lab Color





2.- Go to Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer and create a Curves Layer
3-4.- When your Curves Dialog Box opens it will probably look like No.3, but you want it to have smaller squares so hold the Alt key and hit anywhere inside the squares and it will make them smaller.
5.-set the channel box to a then slide the top of the line 2 squares to the left and the bottom part of the line 2 squares to the right, Click the channel box again and set it to b and repeat the step and hit OK.




6.-If you think it has too much color you can adjust it in the opacity.
7.-When satisfied with what you like, go to Layer > Flatten Image.
8.-Then go to Image > Mode > and set it back to RGB Color.




Now you have a wonderful colorful Image.
