Repair Photo Colors By Adjusting Levels

Step 1 - Open your photo and save it as a new image to preserve your original.

Step 2 - Open your new photo and grab your Magnetic Lasso Tool from your left tool bar. When you right click on the Lasso tool, you have options to choose this.

Step 3 - In this example, we grab everything using the Magnetic Lasso except the tree.

Step 4 - Next, after you Lasso it, you want to click Image>Adjustments>Levels

Step 5 - Make sure your channel is set to RGB

Step 6 - I set the input levels to 0, 0.32, 255 in this example.

Step 7 - I set the output levels to 0, 255 in this example.

Step 7 - Now you can save the image. Since you used the Magnetic Lasso, only what you lassoed will be changed when you make your adjustmensts.
