No problem. It was kind of a trial-by-fire for me when I first learned of the majesty of CTRL+M and other such options.

Nice quick tutorials.
I'm gonna geek out on other methods now. Another thing you can do is filter>noise>reduce noise if there is a lot of noise grain. And then do filter>sharpen>un-sharp max to resharpen some of the details that were blurred. Sometimes, duplicating the layer and changing the blend mode to "soft light" can get the colors right, because it makes the darks darker and the lights lighter, and the colors more saturated without pushing anything too much.
Oh, and it's often recommend to correct colors with scanner preferances instead of doing it in photoshop. Depending on the scaner, you can set what is white and what is dark just like how you would in photoshop. And it will scan things with the right calibration, so there are less things to fix, and less ways to ruin abuse the picture when you bring it into photoshop.
