    I needa brighten up a yellow color door in my footage but if I add exposure FX to the footage, it just exceedingly brightens the whole footage like hella wow! So I only want to brighten the color yellow on the door (pls don’t ask why I wanna brighten it up, it’s my work =P) K thanks bye.

    Duplicate the footage and mask out the yellow door. Now apply the color correction effects to the door.

    You can use Rotobrush Tool to create a mask.

    — PS …….. and if it affects other areas just apply effect to an adjustment layers and mask to select door area only ( adding slight soft edge if required ) …
