What I usually do is add a new layer over the top, fill it with a colour and set that layer to "overlay". Then turn the opacity down to 5-25 percent, depending on the picture. It works the same, since it mixes that unified colour with the colours beneath. From there I usually paint on that layer to fix any problematic areas, always worked great for me!

Nice little tutorial!
