Help with the blue meanies!

Hi Hogs, haven't been on here much recently, been busy hay and silage making! Went out on Saturday and decided to try some macro work using my G3 Lumix , a very old Tamron 80-200mm and 34mm of extension tubes. I used Aperture priority as the lens can't talk to the body.
DOF is ultra short with this set-up, too short to be honest as it's not possible to get a whole bumble bee in focus using F3.8 0r even F8. Anyway that's not the problem.
Although I was quite pleased with the results, (it's been over 30 years since I used these old Pentax tubes), there's some blue fringing or chromatic aberration on the legs. I thought I'd be able to remove it with CS6 but to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Please and Thank-you!
Jim

Hi, think I managed to get rid of the blue around the bees legs.

Thanks Swallowtail, that's a improvement especially on #2, how did you do it?
I tried with the lens correction filter in CS6 using the chromatic aberration sliders but it didn't do anything.

I used Photoshop Elements 11, went to create new fill or adjustment layer, then hue / saturation, and adjusted the Cyans.

That's okay, glad it worked. I tried all the colours but cyan was the one affecting those particular photos.
