is there anyway to do it on photoshop elements 2.0?

thanks in advance! this is a question i have been wondering FOREVERR

I don't really know if we both have the same photoshop, but I hope you do and I'll try my to help!

1. Select the magnetic lasso tool to go around the area you want to select. If the tool gets stubborn and doesn't 'stick' to the place you want it to, then click once and continue till you've covered the entire area you wanted to select in the first place.

2. After the area is selected, leave it like that. Go up to the menu bar/tab (whatever it's called) and select 'image' > 'adjustments'. Then from adjutments (I USE) choose 'color balance'. You can play around a lot there. Also, you can choose 'variations'. That can be fun to explore as well.

I hope I didn't confuse you...

Good luck! Send me a message if you need more help.

=) I'd be more than happy to help you.
