Quick Skin Tone Retouching in Photoshop.
Here is a quick Photoshop retouching tip that came up this month with a Seattle designstudio. While working on a piece for a local non-profit, one digital photo was sufferingfrom color problems in the skin tone highlights.This particular image turned out to be a great example of a common photo retouchingtechnique. Simply create a new layer and cover up the problem area with a patch of your desired skin tone. Then set that new layer to a blending mode of "Color" and volia,the skin tone is corrected.
