2. Now go up to "Layer", "New", "Layer Via Copy", to copy that selection onto it's own layer.

3. Now you can either choose that layer, or the background layer to manipulate.

4. Whichever one you choose, go up to either "Image-Adjustments-Hue/Saturation", or up to "Filter-Filter Gallery" on your Photoshop Menu to change the look of the layer you're currently manipulating.
