I don't think PS LE allows access to individual channels in the curves
dialog.
In the full version you can select the color channel in the curves dialog
and control click(PC) on a point in the image, then change the output level
to the desired amount. Do this to each of the color channels before clicking
"OK" and you will have adjusted the image as you are suggesting.
If the adjustment is really great, I suspect you might get some wild
results, but this is the method commonly used to adjust flesh tones. In most
cases you probably would use a color sampler and input the sampler's tones
and output the desired tones in each channel.
