Kelly, I have the Polarizer, its helped me a few times.

As for enhancing just one color only, red in your example, IMHO you
can do this in Photoshop using Layers.

I've just tried this before I replied here: I took a very old B/W
wedding portrait, did a Magic Wand select of the bride's (white)
gown, created a new layer via Copy of the selected area only - this
copied only the selected gown. Under the new layer I did a Fill with
a hideous green foreground color, and ended up with a bride in a
green gown, the rest of the photo still in B/W. Because of the
saturation you mentioned, I tweaked that as well on the new layer
(making the green even more hideous). Works a treat!

one part of the image and not in another, and finally, I use a red
enhancing filter in the fall for the red folliage that we get here in
Michigan and it would be hard to not over do that in PS... the
equivalent in PS is saturation... I don't want to saturate
everything... only the reds!

Thanks Avraham, but in this case that I was speaking of, you would only use hue/saturation and then adjust the red channel... very simple on paper, now I will have to give it a try in the fall!
