Selective Corrections: Replace Color (Video Included)

Let's try to change the color of Mrs. Watson's dress without changing that of her face.

1. Open Replace Color dialog (Image > Adjustments > Replace Color...). The masking and adjusting tools are in one box here; a hybrid of Hue/Saturation and Select Color Range commands.

2. First of all, we have to select the dress. Click with the eyedropper image 1 (it is already selected) somewhere on the red. See on the preview what areas are selected.

3. Adjust the color sensitivity of the tool with the Fuzziness slider.

4. Activate the Add to sample image 2 eyedropper and click a few times on other hues of red so that to select all the red tissue (movie).

5. It seems that the dress is completely separated from Mrs. Watson*; let's adjust it. Move Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders until you achieved a desired result.
*Note though that the lips are separated as well.
