Classic Phlearn tutorial. This is a great method to color-correct problem spots. I remember the pro tutorial for this, I learned so much. Thank you, Aaron.

[@serenaverdonk2161]

Seriously, I don't know what my PS skills would have looked like without finding your channel. I might only be able to add text or use my paint brush tool in PS...lol.... I learned so much from you! You're the best.

[@phlearn]

Thanks so much for your kind words and for phlearning with us!

[@nevadaxtube]

SO helpful! Thank you!

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@venkatramana2294]

Happy to see you again 😊❤

[@tobiasmalmberg5929]

I remember this technique when you first taught it years ago. Been using ever since for hundreds of portraits! Works like a charm!

[@phlearn]

It's one of our favorites!

[@haqvor]

Thanks for bringing up this great and simple method! I first saw this technique in Lee Varis excellent book Skin, I highly recommend it for anyone that want to learn more about retouching skin. One thing to be aware of when picking the color is that using a single point sample can easily betray you, especially if there are some color noise in the image. Selecting a larger sample area is often a good idea to get an average. I haven't tried this with darker skin colors. In general I find color correcting dark skin without getting a magenta color cast difficult, any tips for that would be fantastic!

eagerly awaiting phlearn tutorial thank u

[@phlearn]

[@visualthoughts6823]

magic.

[@pj9444]

Thank you awesome video as usual.You are the best!!! I have to ask was that young boy you??

[@phlearn]

Thanks so much for watching! The person in the picture is not Aaron ☺

[@jdblick1002]

Could this method also be used to remove shadows on a subjects face cast by a cap/hat?

[@phlearn]

that would be a little bit more tricky, as Hue/Saturation focuses more on color. Here is a tutorial that might help you with your issue: phlearn.com/tutorial/create-skin-texture-photoshop/

[@Jimmy7779]

I haven't used Photoshop for a long time. Do these techniques still work with my PS 8 app, which I purchased some years ago--prior to ADOBE going to a "rental" configuration vs the days when a person actually owned the app.

[@phlearn]

Hey Jimmy! If the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer is present in your version of the app, you should still be able to use this technique.🤗

[@TheJomadi]

👍👍❤❤

[@cartercooper9288]

Fantastically helpful tutorial!

[@Baffoono]

Any tips on making attractive thumbnails for a small gaming channel like mine etc please

[@Baffoono]

Prefer apps to use since I have no pc/laptop

[@phlearn]

Hey there! These are our top 2 tips that worked for us in the past: - Use bright, contrasting colors to make your thumbnail pop on the search page. Ensure your text is clear and readable against the background. - Keep your thumbnail clean and avoid overwhelming viewers with too much text or elements. If you have time, some competitor research could be insightful. See what other channels in your niche are doing well.

[@tanner.quintero]

Can u made a Tutorial of this on Lightroom?

[@phlearn]

Hey there! We have a great in depth tutorial for Color Grading in Lightroom phlearn.com/tutorial/advanced-color-grading-lightroom/

[@phantuananhtadt1437]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@charrski2918]

AI may make it easier but it is much more fun to do it manually.

[@lisaviviani7558]

Great tutorial. The link to the sample files goes to a 404 page.

[@phlearn]

Hi Lisa! We double checked and the link to the images seems to be working fine. Here it is again: phlearn.com/tutorial/how-to-remove-redness-from-skin-in-photoshop/ Let us know if you are still having trouble!

[@lisaviviani7558]

@@phlearn thank you!

[@kellychamberlain8456]

Hue/Sat way too complicated. Try Selective Color, subtract Magenta from Red. One slider and done. Same maskking.

[@phlearn]

That's another great suggestion!

[@SusanSlattery]

Great tutorial! I appreciate you covering this on a wide variety of photos/subjects, using the same method. As someone with skin redness, I will do this on all images of MYSELF.

[@phlearn]

We're glad we were able to help! 🤗
