Just match colors by numbers, use the info palette, sample the color you like and then sample the target area, create a curves adjustment layer and match the numbers, then mask out and paint the color.

Ive heard of that on this forum before, matching the numbers, and I have no idea what that means. You lost me on create a curves layer, how do I match the numbers? When i open a curves layer I dont see anywhere to adjust or enter values.

matching colors by numbers is just a starting point then you go by eye if anything but from the samples I see here you have no problem with that.  I like the color correction on second image, good job.

Oh thanks. The photographer suggestion some corrections and thte hand looked old, and it did. I shuld now by now that if I questions it myself someone wlse who knows better certainly will...lol. I just lassoed the hand and arm and borught up the curves. Then I lassoed again and did a saturation layer in colorize. I matched the tone as best I could and then just played with the opacity. But I was afraid it was too gray still, or if maybe I should sharpen it.

I still have to improve the color on the lips...but thanks. Im still learning photoshop and most of it im really clueless about. If it was for this forum I would still be using PP.
