As a photographer myself, I notice that one thing people need to understand is the difference between a display being "mathematically correct" or pleasant to the eye. Sometimes the skintone may not be 100% "correct", but if being 100% correct means it looks worse, then leave it as it was. Remember that everyone has a different way of seeing hues and saturations right through their eyes, even more when you have so many different screen displays and printers nowadays, so the "scientifically correct tone" isn't really achievable. Just make sure your photos look pleasant and balanced, match the skin tones within the same photo if needed, but don't get too obsessed with it, you'll just be wasting your time. Seriously, I've been there, I know what I'm talking about.

Very good point. I’ve been there too. Sometimes it’s just better to trust your eyes.

I think many of us have been there. It's still very useful to know the techniques and the numbers. As your monitor gets older, it might not be as accurate. As my eyes get older they probably won't be as accurate either 🤣 Of course, do what looks good! Just make sure you know if it looks bad.

@@tutvid I agree with you, as we get older, our eyes may not be able to see colors and tones as accurately, but we also grow more experienced with age and tend to do things in a more "wiser" manner, which makes our instinct kinda bypass some of the science. We tend to trust our experience more than we trust our eyes, per say. But I totally agree with you, knowing the numbers and how to do the technical part in case you need it is always very valuable, and I did learn something new from your video, as per usual, so thank you! 😊

Omg!! That's what makes me so frustrated so I decided to see some useful tutorials about that. I'm a retoucher and sometimes I lose my temper cause I'm not sure if I'm going on the right way in correcting the skin tone. I would be happy if you give more tips about that.Could you please give me your Instagram ID so I can keep in touch?

Very interesting technique adding back the subtracted with linear dodge add! For the sun burn example, have you tried sampling the color from an unburned/good part of the skin and then painting over the sun burns with that color on a new layer set to the color blend mode? I’m curious how that would work. Or possible using a hue/saturation adjustment layer and changing it from master to reds and then dialing in the range just right so that it only affects the more red/burned parts. Then mess with the hue and saturation a bit until it matches the good parts of the skin.

I haven't tried that, but maybe now I will. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tips! Matching skin tone colours is always tricky and learning new ways to do that is very helpful! Can I give you a tip in return? At that moment on 10:30 in the video copying a mask is not the best way to do that. You can just create a clipping mask by Alt/Option + clicking between the Curves and ADD layers. Or going to the Layer menu and selecting "Create clipping mask" for the Curves. This way the adjustment layer effect is limited only to the layer below (clipped to it, eh?) and you don't have to copy the mask every time you need to correct it. Sorry if you already know that and just not to use it here for a reason, I just want to be helpful, don't mean to sound arrogant! Cheers!

Hi, I tried several times. But it didn‘t work. Maybe the Blend Mode with the add Layer is different in German. But I tried all Blend Modes. 🤔
