Fixing skin tone in Photoshop is something that
you can do with a wide variety of built in tools, like filters.
Today, I'm going to explain how to adjust skin
tone in Photoshop. Now this could take a lifetime to master. It's a very
complicated process depending on the skin tone and how much it varies, how
clear the image is that you're adjusting, how clear the image will be or how
fine the resolution when you eventually print or display your image. These are
all variables. If you have a low res image it may be easier and that's what
we're going to be working with today. I'm going to do a very basic example of
how to adjust skin tone or reduce blemishes and things like that. And then more
detailed just require really just more finesse. So this is the basics. Let's
take a picture of myself and I have this scratch on my forehead. I also have
red eye and things in this picture. We'll skip past that for a second and just
focus on this blemish right here which was a scratch I had at the time. First
thing you want to do is zoom in night and tight. And if you zoom in too much
you start to kind of lose it in the other colors but just enough so that you
can still see where it is and go over here to use my favorite tool which is the
healing brush tool. And select the size that you would like. I'm actually using
a good size right now which is 12. You're going to hold down option and click
to a good point of skin, a good uniform point of skin that's sort of far away
from that area but not too far because you want it to be roughly the same. And
then just actually click and slide across. The healing brush tools actually
just make that point of skin just like the other. So like the clear portion
that you selected. You can do this multiple times if you'd like and make sure
that it sort of more natural looking because sometimes if you just use a swipe
you can see the swipe mark. And then when you zoom out as you can see the
scratch is gone. So that's how to edit skin tone in Photoshop for adjusting
blemishes and different skin variation in photos that you may be using. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks.
