All,

As many of the D5100 owner knows it got a feature to picture up to 3 selective colors. I am unsuccessful with this feature after many try. When i select the skin color of my friends their lips are going brown and making the pic odd, when i select some other color the pic is no good... Any better idea to move forward? Please help me.

I avoid the in-camera editing features (or gimmicks) -- like auto mode, they provide you no control over the final image. If you want to do them, you are better off doing it after shooting with an editor.

Make sure when you activate the selective color, you absolutely put your little white dot directly in the color you want to select.

Any deviation will result in color confusion I found.

I'm with Snowbear on this. There are too many things to do
when on a shooting site, and it's easy to bring home things
the 3" LCD didn't reveal. I can adjust things more easily once
I get in my comfortable chair than I can on the "mission".
Whatever editing program you used can likely do all you need
in order to arrive at optimum color. I don't use the D5100 in
camera settings other than the standard ISO, shutter speed,
etc. Even then I sometimes forget to reset them and that
messes up the next day's work, until I realize that I don't
need an ISO of 6400 for this bright sunny day.

Agreed--don't do any PP in camera, all on the computer. In camera is too touchy for me..........
