Help! with roof and grass color, please

[tinkster]

I need assistance with this image of one of our homes for my corporate brochure. The image was shot at dusk and originally had a blown sky. I fixed the sky (to my bosses, and not my liking! ) so it now is a darker hue.

However he wants the tile roof to appear more red and the green grass, more green. But the final image must still be suitable for stochastic printing, which exposes every flaw.

Being a noobie to photoshop, I need serious help.

Any step-by-step guidance (geared towards someone without a tremendous knowledge of Photoshop ) would be greatly appreciated as I have to affect these types of repairs often.

Thank you!

Hi tinkster,
I made 2 curves adj. layers, one for the roof which in increased the red and one for the grass which I increased the green. Both adj. layers had a layer mask. You can adj. the op. on the adj. layers to fine tune the colors.
