Once we click OK, the marching ants will appear on the image
showing us where Photoshop has made its selection. All we have left
to do is save it to a mask by clicking the Curves adjustment icon in the
Adjustments panel. Then, we can very slightly increase the lightness of
the skin tones by modifying the curve in the Properties panel. Above is
what the final image looks like.
In this article, I purposefully didn’t do a ton of modifications to each
of the images because this tutorial is about the Color Range tool
and teaching you how to use it to create detailed, super-charged
masks without any freehand masking at all. So get in there and start
experimenting with this fantastic, and oftentimes totally under-
rated tool. I guarantee it will save you loads of time on your future
retouching projects! n
