Skin tone tab

rave81
Could anyone please explain to me what is the purpose of the skin tone tab under the white balance, because every time I use it and pick the section of the skin it always throw the white balance out of whack.

How or what ways I could integrate the skin tone tab in my workflow?

    Drew, your link points to a Color Editor tutorial. I think the question was about the White Balance Skin Tone tab. ?

    The link Drew posted should take you to 3:21 into the video where the section on the Skin Tone tab starts.

    If you get the start of the video just go to about 3:21 for the relevant part.


    HTH.

    No, he was asking for the skin tone tap in the whitebalance section where you have the standard skin tone selections such as Beige - Deep, Beige - Light, Rose - Light etc.

    I think you can pre-selct here one of these presets and with the color picker just right of the selcetion you can click into the skin of the image. I never do this, I think it is not a good fuctionality though.

    Ah! Good point!

    I guess the original statement about 'throws the white balance out of whack' kind of depends on how the WB was established in the first place? Also what sort of skin tone on wishes to achieve - which may have little to do with absolutely correct WB.
