5. You will also want to sponge out some saturation in the background or paint a layer mask on a desaturated layer.
Yeah! That's the type of response I was looking for. Now, all I have to do is figure out what the hell you just said by playing with the tools!

Anybody else have any techniques they'd like to share in Photoshop?
