How do you get colours into an image like this?
And before somebody just say curves i have tried everything i can think of with curves and it looks nothing like that.
If you think it can be done with curves, please show the curve.
Heres a ref image to try it on and what you normally get just messing around with curves.

Why does she have a mini katana on the left butt cheek?

Unsure, this guys photos always have weird stuff like that on them, pretty sure that blue stuff top right is painted in, also looking at the left corner, looks like its not painted over while the rest of the image is.
Adjust the color channels. Add orange saturation, darken the orange tones, increase increase luminance. Do the same with the yellows, blues, and reds.
There are many ways to achieve that look. This is just one of them.
>>2697285
where in photoshop can you select oranges?
Also do you mean the channels tool?
its just RGB for me?
Heres another image, it really looks like something is being painted over the image.
Any thoughts on how to get this look?

He did a piss poor selection (look at the grass in left), then it looks like he played with the color levels to shift both yellow and red toward orange, increased saturation globally, then ms paint to add blue to the top
>>2697289
A lens flare brush or light leak fakery can do that.
Add a layer, paint some orange on it, then dick with the blending mode and opacity
>>2697289
I dunno, looks like just some dodge and burn in most places-- but yeah, could be any number of blend layers, mix in some lens flares if you're feeling ballsy.
>>2697304
Yeah, definitely some d&b, but look at the distribution of the orange in the image. It's not even or a gradient. It's easiest to do that with another layer in like soft light/low opacity.
>>2697308
Yeah i just painted in orange and set the blend mode to soft light and reduced the opacity and it looks kind of close.

The original was fucked up to begin with m8; regardless OP wanted to know/was skeptical upon how to change colours via curves.
>>2697347
This still looks heavily processed.
There is no way the raw looked like that straight out of camera.
because there is blown white and black i can set the black and white points in curves to take out the colour grading.
And i get this.
Its not just a curves colour adjustment, there is more going on like stuff getting painted in.
you need to use split toning as well as curves, i think the shadows are red and the highlights are yellow.
on top of that maybe a texture layer and some blended gradients
i mean shit, it's not rocket science, just mess with the sliders and try being creative

there a multiple ways to do this. i end up doing it like this most of the time:
-new transparent layer over the image.
-use very soft brush, reduce flow.
-choose a color you like.
-draw over the image.
-try different layer blending modes and play around with opacity.
-done.
protip:
-choose a darker version of the color you like and use screen as blending mode.
-use gradients and mask them.
i hope i could help you

On outdoor shoots have you considered using a colored filter / foil / piece of random glass / transparent piece of colored crap?
Or have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

What about the coloration makes you think it's being painted on? Especially considering that doing a simple white-balance correction of the photo globally removed all of the orange toning? Seems if it can be removed with a global edit, it's been added with a global edit as well, and simply applying the exact opposite of your corrective curve would add the color back into the image. Post a screen shot of your color corrective curves layer?
