How To Make Skin Look Good In Photos (ON1 Photo RAW Tutorial)

[@EelkoA]

You said at @ 2:20 that you didn't have to set the camera profile because its already baked in the JPG? But do you have a ON1 camera? That's wat it saying in the greyed-out box? Other than this great video thanks 🙂

Great question, because it made me realize I did not explain this well enough. When a camera saves a photo as a JPEG, it processes the image and applies several settings, including color tone, contrast, sharpness and saturation. You should be able to choose this ahead of capture by selecting a Picture Style in your camera menu. A Picture Style is basically a camera profile, but it is baked into the JPEG and can't be changed afterwards. That is why when you work with JPGs in Develop > Tone & Color, the Camera Profile and ON1 Standard are greyed-out. The Picture Style is already processed into the file and can not be changed. Hope this helps!

How you give a color for the skin?

[@TomCheswick]

Hi Victor! For accurate skin colors, I use the WhiBal White Balance cards or the Expodisc. Since both the Expodisc and WhiBal card corrects color for the entire photo, the skintones should look great too. I will have to make a video about the Expodisc, but here are two video showing how to use the WhiBal card. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXqbqKVreq-hnbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXLKkICGjNB_d9k
