Skin Tools

Mike3112
I don't understand how to use the skin tone tools in V5. I have a portrait plugin that I use within Photoshop that selcects skin and smooths out skin tone - great for female portaits. From what I read about V5, I can do this in Capture One? I have V5 installed but I just don't get it. What are the steps involved?

Also, the skin tone tool on the color tab adjusts the entire image and not just skin tone, correct? So if I want to just warm up the skin tone and leave the background unaffected, I cannot do that. Am I right?

    I am also frustrated by this function. I set the "Uniformity" from 0 to 1, and did not see any change in skin tone.

    At the same time, the redo/undo bug for Color Editor still persists.

    Asked a simular question in the MAC forum. Not understanding how this tool should work. Even in the posted video tutorial, I didn't see a change to the young boy's face when adjustment was made.

    Can someone please explain/provide instruction for this tool.

    Also a real example (hi-res) would be beneficial, as to the results that can be attained using this tool.

    Can someone from PhaseOne post more detailed info?

    Thx in advance.

    Mike311,

    There are two skin tone tools in CO5, the first one is sets the white balance from the a known skin tone color, and the second is part of the color editor. There you'll see a skin tone tab to alter the skin tones of your subject skin tone without altering the rest of the photo. The Uniformity slider will give you a more uniform skin tone, however its effect is very subtle. I do wish Phase in a future next release give this function a greater effect.

    Personally I am not a huge fan of setting a white balance from a skin tone, I'd much rather use the white balance tool for that, but I do like the skin tone tab in the color editor.
