Smile Need help adjusting color of photo

I have a photo of a necklace, earrings and bracelet I want to sell on Ebay. The photo I took makes the emeralds look blue instead of green. Does someone know how to adjust them to look more green? I tried my best in Picasa and Photoshop but I just couldn't get it to work. If you get it to work, can you please e-mail it to me at jnieman@aol.com. I'd be eternally grateful.

I guess the picture is too big to attach. I can e-mail it to you if you think you can fix it.

Under "Levels" in the Enhance menu on Photoshop if you increase the red channel it should make the emeralds green. If you have no idea what I am talking about make a duplicate of the file and email it to me at theorempainter@aol.com and I will see what I can do.

In Photoshop, always start first by going to "Open in Camera Raw." Once there, first set the white balance. It removes any off-color tones. The White balance tool is at the top of the page. It's the eye dropper on the far left. When you hover over it, it will read "white balance." You can then use the sliders to adjust the color balance if you still don't like your results.

Thanks so much to Sally for working with me on this. She went above and beyond and I so appreciate it! Turned out that the brown background was an issue and once I created a photo with a white background she was able to adjust the emeralds to the correct color of green! TOTVers are the best!
