First you need to select the skin area:

I want to correct only part of my image. What tools do I use?

Then you can use color correction tools:

There are several ways.

Try this:

1. Open the picture file
2. Use one of the selection tools. e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the exposed skin
3. Place the selection on its own layer (CTRL+J)
4. Open a Hue/saturation adjustment layer above the layer created in step #3, and clip these 2 layers (CTRL+G)
5. In the H/s adjustment layer select an appropriate color channel, work the sliders, and also use the "master"
6. The adjustment layer has a built in mask which you can use to tidy up. For example, if you have worked on someone's face, left click on the mask (the white rectangle), and paint with a black brush over the eyes. If you go too far, correct with a white brush.

Another way is to use a Solid Color fill layer.

Here is the original:

I selected her head and added a Solid Color fill layer and set the fill layer's Blend Mode to "Color".

Then used the Brush tool to paint black on the mask to restore her original lips, eyes, hair, and eyebrows.

If you paint to far, paint with white to correct it.

You can tweak the color by double-clicking the fill layer in the Layers Palette and selecting the new color.

With either this method or hatstead's method in the previous post, you might refer to this chart when selecting a starting point for the new color. That is where I got the RGB value in my example.  Right-click the chart to save to your PC.
