Its really great to know that you're still updating the contents of nearly 3 year old videos. Thanks for taking time and teaching us. Jai Hind!

[@pgice]

this color palette is from 6500K whitebalance right? you do know that skintones changes depending on what whitebalance you have. low whitebalance and you get an more redish skintone. fixing that will ruin the mood in the picture.

[@franztomandl51]

Funny that you think i want some kind of fast method to learn. I don't and i already manage to use photoshop properly (not that properly, tho). What i'm interested in is in Unmesh's story. That path he took, how he decided to become who he is now, what he went through while learning. i'm 200% sure that that will encourage SOOO many people to learn from their own and be as amazing as him, but in their own way :)

[@MrNishiith]

Same problem! I'm waiting for him to answer

[@mrflash8509]

That is 6 six 😀

[@JohnDlugosz]

It seems to me that for this particular image, fixing the setting that made the skin tones wrong in the first place would be a better approach. I expect that you took a good picture and messed it up to use as an example, by using the tint control on the color/tint adjustment or the WB adjustment when importing. I'd like to see this trick applied when the skin tones _really_ are strange, and can't be fixed by normal adjustments. Say, with a strongly colored reflection or colored lights. That is, something taken with available light, not with well-controlled lighting. When you have good lighting, there should be no reason why the skin tones are off. Just always shoot a grey cloth (better than a grey card) and you'll have no trouble setting the WB to match the lights, using the WB eyedropper.

[@RamaSivamani]

Skin tones may still be off a little bit even when you use a gray card or cloth to set white balance. I've set white balance and still felt the skin tones needed a little adjustment. "Proper" gray card white balance I feel is a touch too cold when it comes to skin tones.

[@balakumarselvam1592]

can you please make a video for gamut fixing?

[@iancotebasque]

Great vidéo as always, however if understand rightly, this is applying a colour cast correction to the whole image so it would be necessary to mask the whites of eyes and teeth etc, is this correct?

[@larryphotography]

Following

[@WasabiBunny]

Ian Faulkner No, because the green cast was also affecting the whites etc, so removing the cast was helpful in those areas too.

[@iammaryly]

You are awesome.Thank you for keeping it SIMPLE and EASY to understand!!!

[@joshigeorge1]

Man hope your videos are just so effective like this. Short and easy to fix. Wonderful bro. Love ❤️ your work. Great work bro

[@nancyramosphoto]

Unmesh, I created my own 16bit rgb swatch. I couldn't figure out why my values where not accurate until I figured out that I was using a 8bit swatch in a 16 bit image. Just a suggestion, you might want to add that to your videos. I appreciate all you teach us.

[@kerkezz]

Yes, I have a same problem. I work with 16bit rgb files and this swatch somehow are not working!

[@nancyramosphoto]

@@kerkezz I ended up recreating the swatch on a 16bit file, using the same values. So now it works.

[@MrObrienneil]

How do I recreate the swatch ??

[@nancyramosphoto]

@@MrObrienneil you need to create a blank 16 bit page layer on photoshop and copy the numbers on Umish's color swatch but on a 16bit. That is how it worked for me.

[@quionbarrett9375]

What about a color palette for darker skin tones

Can you please do one on a black or dark skin?

[@vanessia1999]

It is the same technique. Use the darker tone swatch he gave and make your saturation adjustment there.

this metod working better with "Image -> Auto Tone"

Did you make sure to select the Curves settings and not the mask for the Curves layer?

This has near the same results as white balancing, but I imagine it would work really well at pulling a range of images taken in different lighting conditions into the same relative space rather easy.
