Re: Colour correction affecting only particular colours

[Elwin Estle <chrysalis_reborn@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is how I would do it, tho there may be other ways as well.  I would duplicate the layer, do my color correction.  Add a layer mask and paint the mask such that the areas that I did not want to be corrected showed through, feathering the mask appropriately where necessary.  Perhaps kinda tedious if you have a lot of images, but it would work.
