levels
brightness/contrast (use legacy for more dramatic effects)
color balance
hue & saturation
Use selection tools to grab areas - either to copy/paste or to manipulate color or light levels:
marquee rectangle
lasso (polygonal & magnetic; delete to back up an anchor point at a time)
magic wand (quick select is a mixed blessing)
change the feathering options or refine edges afterwards for a smoother look
You can add to or subtract from a selection as well; hold shift & select to add more, hold option & select to remove an area. Remember that you can save a selection (select menu, save) and reopen it at a later date without losing any work.
Each layer has its own opacity & blending mode options on the layer palette.
