Hi @edmundasb7814261 this is simply a matter of using Hue/Saturation adjustment layers to increase the Saturation and perhaps Vibrance adjustment to bring out more fringed areas. A great option is to use selective adjustments to bring more pop to areas of your image at varying intensities.

Vivid colors are one thing. But Oversaturation is quite another. If you submit Oversaturated colors to Adobe Stock, the assets will be rejected for Technical Problems.
Use your Histogram panel to ensure images contain proper lighting and color levels.
If needed, use Vibrance Adjustment to increase saturation but use it sparingly. Too much will introduce unwanted artifacts

Some of the ones you posted above look like AI to me. Here is an example of the sudden popularity of this kind of thing:

As with ALL Generative AI, they look OK on the surface until you examine them closely.

Yep the hands are a dead giveaway. I suppose AI will get better at this, and then who knows where it all ends.

@Leslie Moak Murray @Nancy OShea to be clear the examples given by the OP are not AI - they are actual photography from advertisements. The trend is setup a colorful shoot, then enhance in post.
