Part 1:
Throughout the whole exercises, I find this tutorial the most interesting. I used the effect that I didn't know I was able to. Its called SA Color Finesse 3. This is an awesome effect because with this one effect, I was able to change almost everything. The color of the whole image to the actual skin color. The original image is too bright and too much red in it, just take a look at the original bucket and the edited bucket and you can see the difference.
In the first video, that is the 'Primary Color Correction', I learnt how to change the skin color if the video is too bright, I just need to use the effect SA Color Finesse 3 and look at curves. There are 3 color pickers at the bottom of the screen, White, Gray and Black:
White color picker: Highlight
Gray color picker: Midtones
Black color picker: Shadows
For the second video, that is the 'Secondary Color Correction' I have to decrease the saturation of the bright red bucket. I just need to highlight the whole bucket by color picking the different shades of the bucket. When the whole bucket is highlighted, I can then decrease the saturation.

Part 2:
I managed to apply the technique in the other two exercises that I was tasked to do. I enjoyed it! Oh yes, I forgot to mention this. For the pope, when I decreased the saturation for the robe, his neck will also changed to red and that was not what I wanted, so what I did was to duplicate the layer and used the top layer to mask the rope, string and hat. This is because that are the areas that I want to decrease the saturation and I want the other areas to remain as it is. As for the bottom layer, I untick the effect that I used on the top layer so that the it will go back to its original image and nothing is being edited.
