There are probably few things photographers spend more time obsessing over when editing than skin tones. Are they too cool, too warm, too green? How do I know if these are even “right?!”
This mini course was designed to answer those exact questions. It contains the “math” behind nice clean tones (yes, there are actual numbers that can help you – it’s not all just blind guessing!), as well as activities to help you learn to train your eye.
Laura will take you through her editing workflow (beginning in LR, adding creative touches in PS, and ending in LR again*), not only so you can see how she edits, but also so you can see what order to adjust your settings in to help you achieve nice skin tones with as little headache as possible. She’ll discuss troubleshooting issues like multiple skin tones in a single image and dealing with color casts, as well as taking you behind the scenes on a mini shoot with her and her boys to show you how she spots locations to set herself up for a clean edit.
Getting Started: calibration, in-camera settings, Lightroom vs. ACR & Photostop
Editing by Numbers: do the math; skin numbers in Lightroom & Photoshop, temperature, tint, presets, HSL & exposure
How to Shoot “Clean”: how to deal with color casts & manage multiple skin tones! SCORE!!!
