Has a great photo taken at sunset created an orange cast on
your face? Was there a colored spotlight in the room? Whatever
the reason may be, here's a simple way to easily modify colors,
without affecting the entire image.
1.
>Select>Color Range... and pick the color
you want to modify. The "fuzziness"
level will increase or decrease the range of your selection (For
this example I picked the orange color in the hair). You can add
colors or tones by holding SHIFT while clicking.
2. Use Hue/Saturation (CTRL+U)
to modify the selected color. You can alter only specific colors
by choosing it in the "edit" menu. (For this example
only had to reduce the saturation on the Yellow channel)
