❤❤Thank you Zoe, thank you Capture One. I’m trying to break into portraits and this inspired me to go back and revisit recent work. MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE 🎉

Just in love with the Livestreams and thankful for Zoe and sharing her wisdom! Thanks!

Fantastic tutorial! I really liked seeing this process in a more creative approach. Thank you Zoë an Capture One!

Excellent, Zoe! This is perhaps my favorite livestream ever! Thank you so much!

Thank you! Great tutorial.

Thank you. I learned a lot

Hey Capture One, this is great from Zoe as always, but focused on fashion problems and solutions. Would love to see a video that focuses on commercial and corporate photography. Not headshots, I’m talking environmental portraits tight and wides, lit and ambient light, often with competing color casts from mixed lighting and with varying degrees of light control, with a variety of skin tones, generally with no makeup. For instance, just did an environmental portrait shoot (4 setups in 30 mins in a busy working office moving from location to location, just me and one assistant) with an executive, nice furniture to pose him on, but offices had low ceilings and even flagging off overhead lights, my lights would reflect off the white ceiling onto his dark shaved head giving bright reflections that can take time to deal with. Nice shots with windows as backgrounds (common request from corporate clients) that require color and exposure balancing, reflection removal etc. Real world, bread and butter commercial work with tight budgets where we need to turn around retouching quickly. Thanks!

Thank you so much for all this brilliant info and easy-to-follow steps! Learnt a lot!

If I'm correct, the grain tool cannot be applied to a layer. It exclusively works on the underlying image layer, I believe. Great tutorial, by the way! I very much like Zoë's subtle approach to editing portraits.

Exceptional tutorial! Thank you Zoe. 😳

GREAT!! At 21:50 on the lips why didn’t you use the Skin Tone Tool to match lip and clothing color?

Thanks for this amazing tutorial ❤ My question, what is the best, most comprehensive book on color theory you've read? or what is your recommendation for someone who struggles with color editing ?

Hi, thank you for the tutorial, only problem is that my Capture One does not have this wonderful AI masking tool at all? 😅 How can I get there?

will same settings work for batch

I find the title misleading since changing the colour of hair, nails, or any other local areas (other than skin) does not come under "Skin tones and color grading"). Have a look at the definition of "color grading" on Wikipedia to see that such changes are out of scope of "color grading". EDIT: I apparently stand corrected, as I had a deeper look and it looks like local adjustments also fall under "color grading". There is nothing wrong about a tutorial for using masks, but in this case the use of masks was often counterproductive. The Skin Tone tool can already select for skin tone only and affect the targeted areas more precisely than a mask. Note that Zoe had to adjust a mask to not include some hair whereas using just the colour range of the Skin Tone tool would have obviated that step. Targeting areas (e.g., even the background) due to their color (either through the Skin Tone tool or the Color editor) allows one to use very sloppily brushed masks (if any are needed at all) since one only has to exclude areas which have very similar colours. Only if areas with very similar tones are adjacent to the targeted areas, more precise (but typically not super-precise) masks are necessary.
