Can Aperture do this edit?

I have a photo of what appears to be a homeless man busking with a flute on the streets of New York. Everything about the photo is fine except his skin has a reddish tint and his red hat is oversaturated. I want to make his skin look more natural and tone down the red hat. Can Aperture do this, or do I need a more specialized editing program?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Aperture can do almost any pixel-level adjusting to hue, luminance, or saturation. Aperture cannot do any compositing -- for that you'll need a graphics program.


"Tone down" is expressed (perhaps) in photo editing/retouching as lowering the saturation. You can use the Saturation Quick Brush, or the Enhance Brick, or the Color Brick to do this.
