Adjusting skin tones


In Photoshop, you can select a color range that targets skin tones so that it’s easier to adjust the
levels and color tone of skin without affecting the entire image. The skin tone color range selects
other areas of the image with similar colors, but if you’re making slight adjustments, this is
usually acceptable.


1. Choose Select > Color Range.
2. In the Color Range dialog box, choose Skin Tones from the Select menu.

The preview shows that much of the image has been selected.


3. Select Detect Faces.

The preview in the selection changes. Now the face, hair highlights, and lighter areas of the dress
are selected.


4. Decrease the Fuzziness slider to 10 to refine the selection. Then click OK.
