How to Fix Baby Skin Color in Photoshop

[@FiniteBoy]

I have stockpiled all your videos because they are like gold! Thanks

[@milancrevar2405]

I saw many of your tutorials but this one is THE BEST EVER.

[@duper2005]

That was CRAZY cool. Awesome explanation, Aaron!

[@ItsJCalvillo]

This was very helpful. I have had this problem every time I shoot someone close to the red mountains in AZ. The clients skin turns out really red due to the reflection of light. This worked like a charm.

[@PonteRyuurui]

that degrees bit is just brilliant, the best tricks come out of doodling in photoshop with a cup of coffee near by.

[@woocksie1]

Every day you learn something new! Thanks

[@nuancenuance1075]

[@nishkalaprakash98]

That was an extremely useful video! Thank u PHLEARN! 😊🙏🏽

[@valentinmelnik7590]

Hello, Friend! Can't call you another way, you just saved my brain. I have watched so many videos about skin tone and only yours really helped me. Thank you so much! Hello from Ukraine ♥️

[@phlearn]

🤗🤗 Thanks so much for watching!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

Thanks for this. Very simple to do and useful

[@JuanBretti]

Again, the best color matching tutorial!

[@kyouninja]

Dear Phlearn I adore your tutorials and never stop watching and even re-watching them. You are incredible! I'd only like to state that I really really loved the night setting behind you, it gave me a different feeling of relaxation as I (and im sure a lot of other people) watch your videos after school/work, which is at evening/night. If you could throw in a few more night episodes here and there that would allow me to find salvation and eternal peace. Sorry for the long message. Viva la Phlearn.

[@adrianabernardes3848]

Love it! Aaron you are the best!!! Thank you so much for teaching us... Greetings from Brazil!

[@sofiamorea7827]

Great your explanation! Soooo clear and easy!!! Thanks! Will continue following you!

[@fielding68]

Brilliant tutorial. Thank you. Not quite so sure how you worked out the minus 5 on the lightness slider.

[@MrGlockshna]

+David Croft Watch the video again. He explains it as he's doing it.

[@fielding68]

+Glockshna Got it. Thank you.

[@truthsetsufree]

Some people take the baby's natural skin tone and makes the baby look still born, they way overdo the whiteness of the baby. but this video is really neat. Phlearntastic!

[@themix4360]

Great tutorial! I am using this on my most recent set of baby images and I'm blown away by how much time I'm saving. Thank you!

[@danielgeorgiev4750]

Great episode. I always feel like I get better. Your ideas are brilliant!!

[@sprigvisual8412]

Phlearn so rad. Having a baby next month so this should come in handy. Cheers!

[@DavidFlores]

Aaron, phlearn never ceases to blow my mind.

[@sketchmarks5270]

Love the simplicity of this tutorial!

Explain how to change resolution to high and how to resize image sizes in photoshop

[@hakamsoufan]

this is the best idea to fix and match color .... thank you

[@veronicamccoy8936]

Aaron your awesome! You make it so easy to learn!

[@marcusmcdowell3200]

I love how this actually taught me something that I can use, I can reference it easily and is accurate with its information. I love these videos. Please keep making more.

[@mariapazfernandez-garcia8681]

This is great Aaron! You are first class, and this is particularly helpful for me! Thanks as always!

[@MrAnthonydawson]

Great episode. A real world retouching problem, analysed and solved with a professional technique, accompanied with a clear step-by-step walk through. Even if the skin tone isn't to your taste, we've been given the skills to adjust it to our own preference. Good job PHLearn. Hmmm... been trying this technique out since the above comment and in practise it only works if the two shots are of the same contrast. If they're not you need to adjust the contrasts to match before applying the colour adjustment. If not you'll get frustrated with the results.

[@jillransom8991]

GREAT tutorial. Thank you!!!

[@minekazik7997]

Extremely useful for me! Thanks!

[@RafaelCerqueiraDC]

Became a huge fan of your work. Greetings from Brazil

[@mstevy1978]

Great! simple but so effective!

[@genewick2633]

Wow, really simple and powerful tutorial Mr Nace. Amazing is the power of Photoshop in the right hands.

[@shureal]

Very helpful video! Thanks a lot!

[@petergunndetective]

Great technique. Thanks man.

[@rickygodette]

I love it. Previously you made a video on how to match skin tones but you used levels instead. Do you use this technique because you learned that this way is better?

[@Manu-xo7ye]

Those kind of tip are really usefull! Thanks!

[@alesitajp6118]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you Aaron!! 😊

[@sandyj61]

What a game changer, so fast, so easy and so natural, thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@salmaluo7096]

Thanks for sharing, and finally it comes to newborn! as I am a newborn photographer :) Looking forward to having more of this kinda tutorial

[@german-in-korea]

awesome episode as always! Thanks!

[@nylophone5730]

how do you know to pick reds? what if you're trying to make the face less dark for example? Should I pick a different colour?

[@christianr9549]

Where did he get that camera sticker on his mac? So cool, I want one.

[@WarGardensForVictory]

love this, its going to make adjusting colors so much easier!

[@carolinarises]

I'm doing an "Filter - Blur - Average" of a medium brown skin tone and it averages to white. Very perplexing.

[@VirtualInsanity15]

You are amazing! Thank you so much!!

[@joseespinal1381]

oh my gooood! thanks Aaron!

[@nikovald]

Great method, thanks teacher. I´m learning a lot. Regards.

[@Azloukoum]

Are there any tools in photoshop that can allow us to sample an average color of the pixels around the eye dropper ?

[@PixoperfectCoUkPhotography]

Brilliant tutorial! Many thanks! 👍

[@sanjakarinmusic]

just wondering, would it be quality wise the same to use the colour adjustment tools in lightroom?

[@JulianGarrett]

Will this work for skin colors of all tones? I'm curious because I have seen people turn darker skin tones into a lighter skin tone and wonder if this technique would make it possible to do the opposite. I'd rather watch a tutorial from Phlearn as I think you are the best with explaining what and why you are doing the adjustments. I think you are a wonderful teacher. I would love to see a video, but if this technique can be applied to do what I mentioned, I guess there would be no need. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

[@Brewyetphoto]

Awesome. Love your videos!!

[@xlr8sale]

one word. {LEGEND}. simple but effective.

[@nicu8628]

Great tutorial, as usual ... thank you!

[@andrerodriguez7603]

Nice tutorial. I’ve noticed allot of tutorials missing the most important 1st step. You can achieve allot more accuracy by working in CMYK. So converting your image from RGB to CMYK should always be done first. This is essential if the image will go to print.

[@JustMeGiovanna1]

thank you so much . you are the best . i love your tutorials. they are so helpful !

[@techtipsuk]

Great video. I've used photoshop for a long time and still learnt a couple of tricks.

[@sunmooncr]

Thank you !! Aaron

[@RichardGingrasPhotography]

Very good tutorial as always.

[@sanaimran5999]

Wow you made it very simple, it will save a lot of time. Thank you🤗

[@mecuabanhmi]

Hello, thank you for your tutorial, I have one question, why do we only need to adjust the red color? Is this applied for every case of skin tone matching?

[@alexkartashov4018]

I guess it's because the "wrong" color hue is redish, so to avoid other colors from distorting you adjust the red.

[@Chp82]

Woohoo it worked. Thanks Aaron. Just need to find a better stock image haha

[@josephhannouch9845]

guys u r amazing .. i like all your videos and i like how u make it so easy for us ( beginners ) thanks a lot

[@khalidhassani6173]

Amazing trick. Thank you for sharing

[@elizabetbuleci8732]

wow. i,m impressed ! super clever!

[@RafiRaffee]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@MrChimsoro]

So simple, so brilliant, thank you.......

[@mohammadzahri9782]

Nice One quick question... How to decide to choose red or other color to affect

[@Eat-MyGoal]

+Mohammad Zahri Because if you look at the original picture you can see the predominance of red within it. Skin tones are mainly made up of a mixture of red and yellow...

[@mohammadzahri9782]

+Frogman thnx

[@ossue6]

H this is a great way for skin color thanks A. Nace

[@dazblade2011]

great episode as always

[@saschafuchs185]

This is great. And so usefull not only for babys

[@Azam_Pakistan]

Great. But you say the two averaged sample colours now match, but to me these samples (not the whole baby pics) are still very different. Where am I wrong? The end result is however awesome.

[@nicolakennedy8191]

How did I not know this before?? Thank you!

[@mohammaddoctor]

Omg! Perfect... That's such an awesome trick... You're just Incredible Aaron!

[@kingWesternTube]

Hello Aaron This technique of using the 'average blur' to match colour is brilliant. I have an ongoing problem with a colour cast the my ND filter creates. I thought that this skin technique would work well as a means of matching a 'filtered image' to a reference image of the same scene. However when I 'average blur' a portion of the 'filtered image', and apply a 'hue and saturation' adjustment layer tailored to match, mathematically, the same area on the reference picture, I don't get a visual match. Can you help me understand why that is? Thank you very much for posting these videos. They are greatly appreciated.

[@0000kris0000]

This is incredible! Thank you!

[@CedarHouseProduction]

awesome tut, thank you

[@psygn0sis]

Could you please include a link to the original image in the description for all your future videos. I, like many people, learn and remember by doing. Having the exact same original image and going through each step with you would be easy and fun.

[@abracordova21]

What a great technique!! Quickly looking through, I'm not finding a quick answer -- for a jaundice baby, who's skin is super yellow/orange, would you adjust the yellow channel on the hue/sat instead of the red? Seemed to do better, but either way, it still doesn't quite look right. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@Chrompolitur]

Very smart way to match.

[@carolyn9996]

WOWOWOWOWOW! Thank you, so much Aaron!!!

[@drakthamshraiba9608]

Fantastic tutorial

[@a.h.m.bodruddoza4170]

how do you invent this? just wow!!

[@iamsteveanderson]

This is the best video ever! I've seriously been looking for something like this for a really long time. I've always struggled with skin tones in my photos; Is it too red, too orange, too yellow? Now I have a way to reference other photos that I think have great skin tones, and adjust my photo to match. I can not thank you enough for how awesome this is! I do however have one question: How do I know which channel I need to adjust on the hue slider? In this video, you only adjusted the red channel, what if I needed to adjust other channels? How could I know that by using the color picker?

[@savaskeskin6692]

Hey Aron, You are a Geeeenius!! Thanks!

[@mariomifsud1302]

Very interesting tutorial as always,well explained.

[@kamleshpawar1180]

What about the rest of the photo colours? what if I have vibrant background colours and don't want them to change.

[@JulesFerlatte]

Thank you , love love love this

[@JuanBretti]

Thank you for such an easy tip! Very useful, as usual.

[@renerepnik8150]

I love u for that Tutorial!

[@travelblogykt2743]

Super! very useful! thank you!

[@IAmSamuelCharpentier]

This is awsome! Thumbs up!

[@mycbeats1276]

It would have been interesting if you moved the hue adjustment above your baby's colour average and shown that the two blocks were in fact identical.
