here is the worflow:

1. take a good photograph with good subject :) white balance to thungstene, color saturation to -3 or -2 and contrast to -2.

2. copy the layer and apply auto-level. Adjust the slider to adjust the result. Once the result is ok, merge them.

3. copy the layer again, then adjustment, channel mixer and swap the blue and red channel. Keep the unswaped image underneat.

You can add a layer mask and blend the swaped and unswaped image, and reveal or hide part of the swapped image that you want or don,t want.

4. create a new layer and use "color" mode for the blend. Then use the color that you want and spray the area to tint the area that you want to correct.

This is a lot of work to get the result that I am getting and it's no garanty that anyone will get the same result. For the people who don,t want to go through this, converting to grayscale is the best way to go.

What I do is an artwork..not simple photograph :)
