    This is a great tutorial, I wasn't aware of the colour wheel feature in Adobe! I use the WB as a replacement for old skool warm up filters, though it's not great. I use the calibration sliders a lot, they are much more subtle than the HSL. I agree that green foliage on a sunny day using the Adobe Landscape profile are generally a horrible colour! I've also learnt how to use colourmask, that's a game changer for me!
