Scott,
There is no way you can
selectively go in and select that many color "zones"... what you end up with is
a pretty patch-work quilt of color . Better to let PS do the choosing for you
via the "select by color" routine on a pixel by pixel level... some people call
this my "green pixel" gun technique... whatever... your image is begging for its
application...
1. Go in to the green areas and blow
the image up till you can clearly see the green pixels.
2. Using the eyedropper in single pixel
mode, and a fuzziness of around 40 (you can adjust for effect...) click
initially on a red or magenta pixel to clear out any memory. Now click on a
green pixel. Switch from single selection to multiselection (the eyedropper with
a "+").
3. Go over the image looking for the
very green pixels... click on about 20-30 of them.
4. Press enter.
5. Hide the selection and back off the
enlargement a bit so you can see the effects of the next step.
6. Go to curves and select the green
curve... slowly pull down the middle of it... watch what happens to the
obnoxious green pixels... you should reach a point where they blend into the
rest of the picture... you can adjust the selection back in RGB if they got too
light or dark.
6. Hit command (MAC) or control (PC) Z
to see the before and after. If you went too far, you can cut back by going to
filter>fade>curves.
Variations of this technique
involve feathering the initial selection by 1-2 pixels before hiding it and
adjusting the fuzziness at the onset of the procedure.
I think this will clean up
a lot of the image and it is not restricted to any one color... you can use it
with any color that is "out of bounds"... just select it on a pixel level
and apply the opposite. The key to effective use depends on the quality of your
selection process.
