I have an image that I want to lighten one color. I choose "color range" and select the color and it has dotted lines around it. Then, I want to play with that color or area of the image and try different saturations or colors. BUT, when I try that, the main layer with the image is not selected. So no changes are registered..... just the layer for hue/saturation is highlighted so I can't do anything to change this color. Seems that, automatically, the NON IMAGE layer becomes the only one I can work with when I select hue/saturation...

What do I do?

Once you have the "marching ants" of the selection, just click on the layer you want on the layers palette to select it, you can then use hue/sat to alter the colour selected.
You can also use the hue/sat to ajust a colour with the drop down box at the top of the hue sat palette, in this you can pick say red, and just ajust that.
If you have CS or CS2 you also have replace colour palette (under image/ajustments) ,with this you click on the colour you want to replace and slide the hue slider in the palette to alter it, the fuzzines slider works like the one in select colour range.
I'm wondering if you are using a hue/sat ajustment layer? if you are you need to make that after making the selection, it will then have a layer mask on it so it only affects the selected area. Wayne
