HBTD - So there is no way to "darken" the skin of the face to match the tone of the rest of the skin?

---

When I match skin tones I will tweak any number of settings to get it to look how I want. I look at both images for color, saturation, contrast and lightness/darkness. I use that as a basis for changes.

Example: Dream Team and Jimmy Swaggart

I don't look at it like I need to make Jimmy Swaggart look like a black man. I need to make him match the other image.

The Dream Team image is very red/yellow, saturated and high contrast. Use that info as a starting point to tweak the Jimmy Swaggart image layer.

Color Balance Cyan/Red +40 (more red)
Color Balance Yellow/Blue -40 (more yellow)
Color Balance Magenta/Green -20 (more magenta)
Saturation +15
Lightness -5 (A little darker)
Brightness -10
Contrast +10



Play around with those until you get it to look how you want it to.


Now, this is also going to change hair, eye color, etc. You can use additional selections or layers to tweak those as well.


Fire away if you have any questions and I can give more detailed info if you want.


I will also put something together for blending skin between two image layers. That will clean up the neck in the above example.
