Title: ABC
Post by: Lynnya on December 31, 2017, 09:37:48 AM
Hi gang... Happy New Year!!  I'd like your thoughts on this one please.  I did a levels adjustment rgb... then I did a neutral gray which took me to the second picuture which looking at the numbers is off for baby skin tones.. I upped the yellows and adjusted the balances on the others to try to get closer to correct skin tones.. your input would be appreciated..

Tricky. At first glance the baby seems a bit golden in the last one. Maybe do the Curves or Levels without the Gray point and see how it does?

Lynn, try the Curves Gray point and sample in different areas around the letter E (cube toy) until you find a pleasing skin color.  You can adjust the opacity of the Curves layer at the same time.

Might be that the pink and yellow discolorations are skewing the color correction. I would make the repairs, then try the color correction again.
