red shows where to create a hue/saturation layer as well as other quite useful effects.

Great little tutorial, Pepsi. I just want to add for everyone else... don't be afraid of layers and their overlaying effects.
Personally, I don't use masks and filters. All of that pretty much comes from preferences if the direction you take. The cool think about Photoshop is there are so many ways to do so many different things. It just takes a bit of playing around to figure out which ways are best for you.
