Color Correction Photoshop

[colobean]

Hi there,

I need to learn Color Correnction in Photoshop. I bought two books "Professional Photoshop by Dan Margulis" & Photoshop Color Correction by Michael Kiern". Skimming through the books, I find that both really only describe the theories rather than the practice. I find that I'm pretty good at picking up computer practices and program, yet I feel stumped when trying to learn to colour correct. Starting with numbers, I don't understand how you colour correct an entire photo, as soon as I attempt to fix one part, the other part seems to go off balance.

Am I missing something? Is it simpler than I'm making it out to be?

Are there books on it that descrobe step by steps?

Please advise.

Thank you!!!!

There are several ways to do the same thing in Photoshop.
books are OK, but you really just need to "play" daily with images.
Selecting and masking are crucial basic skills that will lead you into creative nirvana.
Ok maybe not but the point is made
