I created a Spare Channel - "Water" - in the attached image.  Then I created an HSL adjustment layer and successfully loaded the Water Channel to the HSL Shift Adjustment Alpha. I actually loaded it to a Curves and Levels Adjusment Layer also.  Then, I did the same for the Sky, Houses, and Pelican.  I had a party!  I tweaked everything just the way I wanted and loved the result.  But when the party was over I noticed that I missed part of the water when I originally created that channel.  

What I want to be able to do is to add the part that I missed - but I want it to be subject to the HSL and other adjustments that I have already perfomed on that channel.  I haven't had any luck with Load, Add, or Subtract To or From the Pixel Selection.  I can easily increase the selection - but the adjustments don't follow.  Please advise!

The pixel selection is just a marquee of marching ants that marks an area of the image, but is not really part of anyting specific. It's what you do with the selection that matters, and when you do something with a selection that is a point-in-time action that applies to whatever pixel layer happens to be active at that instant. Any changes after that (to the size of the marquee, or changing to a different pixel layer) will not have any effect on the action you performed.

So, when you loaded the spare channel, that captured all the pixels that were selected at that point in time, and any later adjustments to the selection marquee will not have any effect on the channel you created.

Sorry, but other than "redo it all" I don't have any suggestions for you; perhaps someone else will come up with something.

Once you increase the pixel selection select the HSL adjustment layer (not the pixel layer) and paint in white over the newly increased pixel selection to add the HSL adjustment to that part of the selection.

(Repeat the "painting in white" part for any other adjustment layers you want to alter)
