Hi all, I'm quite the newbie to this forum as well as photography.

I wanted to share a color accent photo that I took, and while it turned out good for the most part, I ended up getting a little bit more red in the photo than I cared for.

The A540 settings were adjusted to take ONLY the shade of red that was on the rose, but it is clear to see that the camera took a little more than that.

Logically, I'm now wondering how to use PhotoStudio to remove the excess color. Alternatively, if any of you would point me towards a website that would teach me the post-processing techniques, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I think it would be better with just the rose red. I would also desaturate the rest of her skin so there aren't those random pink spots.

I agree with the pink spots. Moreover, I'd probably take the saturation and vibrance down with the red that's leftover. While they certainly catch your eye (as they're supposed to), they also seem blown out and too hot.
