Partly washed out colour

[krh1874]

I'm still learning and in the process of trying to improve old family photos, I'm managing the B+W ones ok, and some colour to a certain extent, but I need help from the experts on here 

The problem is one photo in particular, I've attached it so you'll understand what I mean, me and my grandad from the 70s, it needs the colour improved, but only some of it as you'll see, and I'm not sure how to do that, if I change colour tones etc it affects the whole photo so the problem still exists. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try white balance and levels settings, you can start with the auto WB and levels top toolbar buttons and then fine tune further manually.

If you are talking about the green colour cast.  You need to select just that area and make your adjustments on that selection only.  Once you get that to look like the rest of the image you can further refine it by Inpainting (or cloning) the edge of that selection to blend it in. Then perform whatever other adjustments you want on the whole image

Cheers, that looks a lot better, I'll try that in future
