This is how I would do it, tho there may be other ways as well. I would duplicate the layer, do my color correction. Add a layer mask and paint the mask such that the areas that I did not want to be corrected showed through, feathering the mask appropriately where necessary. Perhaps kinda tedious if you have a lot of images, but it would work.
