Hey Jenn. I found these instructions a few years back to cover colour correction in Photoshop.
1) open the photo
2) create 3 duplicate layers (ctrl j)
3) make the second duplicate layer from the top active and fill w/50% grey (edit-fill-50% grey-100%, opacity-normal)
4) make the top layer active and change the blending mode to luminosity
5) merge the top layer down into the second grey layer (you'll now have a b/w photo of your original image)
6) create a new fill layer above the b/w image (layer, new fill layer, solid colour), check "group with previous layer" and fill the layer with red (r=255, g=0, b=0).
7) change this layer's blending mode to multiply and merge it down to the previous b/w layer
8) change the now reddish photo's blending mode to screen and merge it down again.
9) run auto levels, adjust brightness contrast to your liking
10) make any other necessary adjustments with hue/saturation
11) adjust sharpness
12) flatten image
Here is a link to a site that will explain the technique.

It adjusts the "blueness" to show the true colour of the photo at depth.
