Fix SKIN TONES and HOT SPOTS in Lightroom with this Easy TRICK! I BET you've NEVER seen this!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Has anyone ever seen this Lightroom technique before today??? Im super curious if this is a first for KZbin! 😳

[@ArminHirmer]

nice

[@willsimpsonphoto]

thanks!

[@evelynkwagala9732]

Impressive. I like that you are giving us examples with both light and dark complexions.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

of course!

[@freekvanbuul5100]

Valuable video, thanx! For me the biggest pro is that you gave the example on both a dark and a light skin. As I have most troubles with improving pics with lighter skins.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

@@freekvanbuul5100 nice! Glad to help!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Like the light!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Great tutorial! Going to be giving this a try. Thanks!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

you're welcome :)

[@CINE84YT]

Thank you so much Will, very useful tutorial. In this video I learned something I had no idea in LR Classic !

[@willsimpsonphoto]

thats great! Theres so many things you can do in Lightroom.

[@selenabostick5844]

Thank you for including an example with a POC.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

You bet!

[@andisotolongo]

THANK YOU for making this video! Adobe CC has come a long way since their downloadable days! You are great at explaining and teaching and I’m grateful I found your page! Cheers and blessings fellow artist! Question… I’m unable to access my input/output in any of my curves… any idea how i can find them? I’ve looked everywhere. I have the most current version and maybe I’m just not seeing it? Help!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

I think i understand what you mean. When you're in the tone curve do you see "Input" and "Output" under your curves panel? If so, at first they aren't selectable but make a small adjustment on the curve itself and they should then become adjustable.

[@namritabakshi]

First time on your channel ans i absolutely loved it! Not seen this before.. thanks so much for putting this out..

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Nice! Welcome to the channel

[@BANNERWORX]

Very interesting feature for LR, thank you for showing it to us. I wonder if the same technique can be used to balance skin tones when LED lights are used and slightly blow out skin tones, in night club images? I've done a few DJ pictures, which have been ruined by club lights. I'll feedback after this weekend as I'm shooting at my festival.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

I cant wait to hear how it works!

[@smepable]

Amazing thats what I needed for saving the portraits of my client 😃

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Love to hear it!

[@WilburnEdwards]

First I've seen of this technique, really good. I think it might be good to use on product photogaphy. This is also only the second video of yours I watch, I have subscribed now. Thanks for the info.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

awesome man! Great to have ya!

[@marjorieguzman19]

This is soooo helpful!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

@@marjorieguzman19 nice!

[@TheNaturaltay]

Thanks! 1st time watching one of your videos!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Nice! Did I earn your subscription?

[@neilfauerbach5163]

Good video. What would be super-helpful for your videos, and for all the tutorials out there would be to state what version software you are on. You state in the video that "the new update...". I am watching this a year after you filmed and my LR dashboard looks nothing like yours. A suggestion. Thanks.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

@@neilfauerbach5163 I’m assuming, since you say it looks totally different, you are using Lightroom CC not Lightroom Classic. However the technique can be used on both as this masking feature is available in both. If your unsure, check my “Lightroom CC vs Lightroom Classic video” kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZjGZKJnhd99oJosi=r87or_cw6kIdyu1H

First time and it's seem pretty good !

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Wooot! Love it!

[@amandafoster650]

thanks

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Yep :)

[@MarcusMuller77]

Thats a great Video😮! Is this technique in CAMERA RAW possible?

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Should be, has the same masking ability.

[@WCWMidnight]

i need to do something like this for flooring in a home. I am a Realtor and when the windows are open you get this sheen in front of the window on the floor. But your method doesnt work for that.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

correct, this method wouldnt because its for skin tones. best way to do that is to either wait until the lighting is even like early in morning or near sunset. a cloudy day might help as well.

[@andreas.farsch]

First time on your channel. Great video that deserved a like. Even 4 months after this new Lightroom feature you showed an excellent application of curves inside a mask. Question: does the 'original' version of the 2nd model look like it has a little green tint, or is it just my monitor? After all you adjusted the color tone curve towards magenta.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

It might be the monitor. On my screen it looks magenta, but it also could be that the TINT wasn't touched so could be slightly greenish.

[@applepiephotoandvideo5936]

Awesome!

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Totally!

[@sajjadhussain-l4f4m]

superb

[@willsimpsonphoto]

thanks :)

[@drumprof]

Question: If you are going to use the power of masks, why don't you apply this method to Face and body skin only and edit the rest of the elements (hair, cloths etc) separately. Select the face etc then intersect with luminence. Great method BTW.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

You can absolutely do that. But for the highlights, to be super selective I think you’d still have to use a luminance mask. So you could intersect them.

[@VinnyJustVinny]

Very informative. (I did have to mute the sound a few times to make sure an icecream truck wasn't driving by the house ;) )

[@willsimpsonphoto]

lol... most excellent! My subliminal message of making you crave ice cream is working exactly as planned🤣

[@ogunyemijimmyjunior5522]

First time to see you on KZbin sup

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Woooot!

[@roushellereign]

I love your simplistic approach but more darker skin examples, please. I definitely will try this to achieve a better balance in my editing.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

sounds good!

[@jasonthompson2364]

Do like new light

[@willsimpsonphoto]

loving the new light right now. Used it at a wedding this week and it was fantastic

[@E3Zombie]

Are you editing jpegs?

[@willsimpsonphoto]

This image was, but generally I edit raws.

[@E3Zombie]

@@willsimpsonphoto Great to know it works on compressed images I shoot a lot of Fuji JPEGs I love the out of camera colour but sometimes need to pull the skin tones down a bit

Ironically, in an AWESOME video about skin tones, the light you mentioned looks a little sterile and white on your face
