Skin Tone Tool - other uses

Tan68
A recent tutorial mentioned using Skin Tone Tool to make adjustment to the color of water: http://blog.phaseone.com/get-uniform-skintones/

I have been trying the tool on other things.
Today, it was very helpful to remove a color cast in a red flower.
Color Tool let me easily adjust hue just a little bit, but I got the most help from Skin Tone.

I guess 'skin tone' is a fine thing to call the tool, but it might leave people thinking it has no other use. The reason for the thread is to just remind the tool has other good uses as well.

    A good idea, and probably easy to implement if you have a standard for the color you want. What did you use for the red?

    No standard... The red flower had a blue cast. I had used Color Tool to rotate hue a bit. Skin Tone evened things out; not all the flower was blue... With things evened out, I could better correct by adjusting hue. Without evening out, some spots were 'over corrected' if I adjusted hue enough to get the blue gone.

    Anyway, I don't have a color profile for the camera by ISO and etc...
    So, this all worked well.

    I've also used Skin Tone to get a more uniform color for correction, and find it to be very useful for that. However, before someone explained to me how to use it for purposes outside of skin tones, I never used it at all. Not a well-named tool, IMHO.
