SKIN TONES

Let’s talk about my favorite way to use this tool.

As I mentioned previously, Color Range has the

option to isolate only skin tones in an image.

Here’s one of my signature shots that I’ll use for

this example. I’d like to increase the lightness of

the skin tones just slightly.

Let’s see how easily Photoshop can create a

mask of the skin tones in this photo. We’ll start

again by selecting Color Range from the Select

menu, and then I’ll choose Skin Tones from the

Select drop-down menu.

Wow, check out this exceptionally detailed

mask I was able to create in all of 2.2 seconds

with the help of this dialog.
