Guys, if you haven't yet, you can check my tutorial for Color Correction. Its in the video responses by Karlobster. Its just 3 minutes long, though not in depth as this, it gets the job done.

Videos like this makes me turn more and more off from photoshop editing. You drag, on, and on, and on. Boring!

I've been basically using this guide to color correct images since first viewing this tut.

My only question is, when I'm correcting african skin, often while I'm in RGB mode, but reading color in CMYK in the info palette, I find that it's difficult to change K, Black, without affecting CMY, and thus throwing everything off again?
