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!
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.
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 ♥️
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.
This is just so freaking obvious once it is pointed out. Much of the stuff Aaron teaches I have to keep links to so that I can watch them again before attempting it. But this? It almost literally caused me to slap my forehead and shout "Doh!". Peter Hurley pointed this out to his Headshot Crew, and Aaron, allow me to thank you for all of us. This will make it so much easier to color match a headshot portfolio.
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.
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.
I used to do like this... I have some good tips - don´t know if you did not say that just to make it straight to the point, but you can put some eyedroper color samples, and increase the size of the sample, and this way you don´t need to perform an average blur... More over it would be a good idea to sample in the difuse light shading (not highlights or shadows). And yes, you can setup the samples to read as HSB. Wayyy faster. So anytime you increase the Hue you don´t need to do "maths" - the info will show you, it´s more intuitive. You can compare te ref. point, and the target, and the info will also show how it is the number previous and before the HSV Adjstment Layer. But anyway, a baby´s skin is not that peachy, it´s a little rosyer, so in my opinion the ref. was over yellowish. I would rather finetune to somewhere 15º than 18º. Hugs!
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.
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?
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?
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.
This technique is good but I don't like using only the red channel to fix this (for images generally). It should work for all images and use the overall RGB hue values instead.
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.
@@michaeldupont7530 i am colorblind and i edit photographs also Its just cool someone like myself that does the same thing. Do you have a website or instagram. Its hard to do retouching and photo editing as a colorblind person.
Excellent and very helpful tutorial, Aaron -- Thank you. I especially appreciate the way you always do a preview before and a summary after the detailed technique exposé for each episode. Good work! You show us -- again and again, in many different ways, the amazing power of a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer. What would we do without it?
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.
Can you please make a tutorial for forum signatures? (with Anime characters please) There are plenty out there but I've noticed a certain touch of professionalism with phlearn and would really love to see your way of doing it.
Dang it Aaron.... You're still a beast... I've become very busy with my job and so I haven't been able to keep up with the Phlearn videos as I have liked for a few months... I just started trying to catch up again and there you go again - hitting the target and blowing my mind on another technique... Keep up the great work!!! :) Video suggestion: I find that dark skin is so much harder to retouch. Can this technique work for lightening dark skin or can you make a video on lightening dark skin? I've had those requests from friends whom I've photographed and I always have a hard time making dark skin lighter. Please help!
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!
I have stockpiled all your videos because they are like gold! Thanks

Phlearn so rad. Having a baby next month so this should come in handy. Cheers!
Every day you learn something new! Thanks
I saw many of your tutorials but this one is THE BEST EVER.
that degrees bit is just brilliant, the best tricks come out of doodling in photoshop with a cup of coffee near by.
That was an extremely useful video! Thank u PHLEARN! 😊🙏🏽
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!

This is very useful technique, but I the baby would look better with more of the original red tones. The new color looks kind of jaundiced and pale.

Great method, thanks teacher. I´m learning a lot. Regards.
Aaron, phlearn never ceases to blow my mind.
Love the simplicity of this tutorial!
love this, its going to make adjusting colors so much easier!
Great episode. I always feel like I get better. Your ideas are brilliant!!
Will be joining Phlearn soon, love the videos.

thanks for all those tips Aaron!!!!!
oh. my. god. why did I not know this..?!
Thanks for sharing, and finally it comes to newborn! as I am a newborn photographer :) Looking forward to having more of this kinda tutorial
Wow, really simple and powerful tutorial Mr Nace. Amazing is the power of Photoshop in the right hands.
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.
Wow! I can easily find a dozen different ways this can be useful, THANK YOU!
Love it! Aaron you are the best!!! Thank you so much for teaching us... Greetings from Brazil!
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?
You are amazing! Thank you so much!!
What a game changer, so fast, so easy and so natural, thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thanks for this. Very simple to do and useful
This is great Aaron! You are first class, and this is particularly helpful for me! Thanks as always!
Became a huge fan of your work. Greetings from Brazil
Great your explanation! Soooo clear and easy!!! Thanks! Will continue following you!
Great tut. Always learning. Best!

This technique is good but I don't like using only the red channel to fix this (for images generally). It should work for all images and use the overall RGB hue values instead.
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.
Great video. I've used photoshop for a long time and still learnt a couple of tricks.
H this is a great way for skin color thanks A. Nace
Again, the best color matching tutorial!
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.
I am colorblind, that will be an awesome photoshop tool for me, thanks Aaron :-)
+Michaël Dupont That must be a real challenge when photo editing...
Well no one is complaining about my pictures so far... But I know that could be a problem sometimes.
@@michaeldupont7530 you are colorblind also while editing photos?
@@mcculloughimagery4952 what do you mean by also? It's a condition I am always colorblind.

Woohoo it worked. Thanks Aaron. Just need to find a better stock image haha
Can you please share more tutorials for baby photography and editing.
Wow you made it very simple, it will save a lot of time. Thank you🤗

Great technique. Thanks man.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you Aaron!! 😊
Aaron your awesome! You make it so easy to learn!
Explain how to change resolution to high and how to resize image sizes in photoshop
thank you so much . you are the best . i love your tutorials. they are so helpful !
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?
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.
Fantastic tutorial
PHLEARN's the best
