I guess I expected the script to do the picking for me. BTW, did both the layers and channels come through in the link I sent? I'll watch some tutorials on youtube and if I still get stuck, I'll check back with you, and many thanks for your attention and time to explain this.
To use the Luminosity Masks you first have to duplicate your image. Then click Filters/Generic/Luminosity Masks. If you then look in the Channels Tab You will find 9 Luminosity Masks. You need to examine each of these in turn to find which one will adjust the area you require. You are going to add the appropriate mask as a layer mask to the top layer of your duplicated image and the white areas of the mask is where the adjustment will take place using any of the controls in the Colours Menu.
I know that, initially, this sounds complicated, but after the first time you use it all will become obvious! It provides excellent control of images.
If you need any additional help, do not hesitate, come back and I am sure I can put a simple tutorial together.
