4 Great Methods to Perfect Skin Tones Using Curves in Photoshop

Correcting and controlling color, especially in skin tones, is an imperative part of the retouching process. Skin tone can be impacted by a variety of causes, such as lighting setups, the surrounding environment, as well as how the camera sensor captures the color of the skin in and of itself.

A model photographed in a studio, who is then photographed outdoors surrounded by green foliage will have a drastically different skin tone in both images. This is why you must learn your preferred method for correcting skin tone because perfected skin texture can be ruined by an unflattering color to the skin.
