Step 2 In the Selective Color Palette we see a few options.

Color- This select box is used to pick which color you want to adjust in the photo.
(Reds, Yellows, Greens, Cyans, Blues, Magentas, Whites, Neutrals, and Blacks)

Sliders- These allow you to add or subtract 4 different colors within a certain color.
(Cyan Magentas Yellow Black)

Step 3 Just going thought the drop down of colors and adding and subtracting the 4 colors
on the slider to give you a brighter or duller color to your photo.
