❤️

(Nc profile pic btw)
'w' in his accent is so annoying if u ask me:p
agree
I always had bad experience with Indian people with who I speak almost every day. But he ? He is just blessing. And his tutorials are amazing. They are long but only because he try so hard to teach us photoshop, and we still suck ass
Unmesh, I have been working closely with Photoshop for about twenty years now. You are absolutely revolutionizing the way Photoshop is being taught and used with completely original methods that I routinely never see anywhere else! Keep up the great work! I think I speak for many of us who are so grateful for your posts.
As always, great tutorial! As a portrait photographer, I'm constantly dealing with skin tones. To have reference skin tones is pure gold!!
So good as always... This is probably the most underrated photoshop channel on TH-cam.
I have no words to describe my appreciation for Pix-imperfect. I have really struggled to get myself going with the Photoshop and here you are. You are my teacher and i will always be indebted to this great channel. You are the best Master of Photoshop. Thank you soo very much.
I've been practicing on a lot of stock photos; it's crazy how much yellower some photos are before applying this. Changing the visibility of the adjustment layer is like night and day.
How are you getting it to work?! It doesn't do a thing to any of my photos.
Finally....someone started showing the secrets...! Thank you so much. Absolutely great vid!
in all my years trying to figure out skin correction, I think I finally found the holy grail! Thank you soooo much!!!
dude, i don't even know how i stumbled on your channel but damn i'm happy i did. your videos are the bomb. keep up the amazing work
This video literally changed my editing and moved it to a whole new level!
Awesome, I'v been a professional designer for over a decade and its an absolute pleasure to finally find someone on TH-cam that goes into this level of depth and detail. Great work!
I discovered your channel today and have been on a binge watching session. This one tip in particular has been a phenomenal help. Great job and thank you!
Got to hand it to you You are coming up with new tutorials no one has ever done, they just rehash the same old stuff!!!
Agreed. He shows things that are useful to apply and use. I dont know how to use photoshop so thats why i look for help but many people just show you how to make a filter or do something where youre not really learning what it does..just copying their stylr
wow helpful, thank you for going into details and sharing the samples too. great tutorial. will be trying this out when i hook my computer up.
OMG, I have learned more with your videos in less than a week than ever before (years). You are a Master, explaining it all in details. Thank you. The best for you!
OMG!!!! This is by far the best skin tutorial ever!!! I have always had the hardest time toning my daughter's skin when doing adjustments. She has a beautiful tanned tone, but when applying adjustments, she would turn brown or orange. I just did a quick tone with the pallet and WOW!!! Thank you so much for all your work man. Hands down the best teacher in YT.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this! I feel like my eyes have been crossing trying to get the perfect skin tone...only to come back the next day and discover that it's too yellow/red/blue/whatever. This is super helpful!
years and years as a freelancer and never saw this coming ! cant wait to use this and try it on old photographs to see how far off I was !
Just that simple addition of the text layer - You Cannot Trust Your Eyes - tells so much about the dedication, eye to detail and masterfulness that you and the team has. My best wishes!
I've just stumbled across this channel, love the tutorials. Keep up the good work!!
You re so smart! I love your videos, great teacher aswell ! Thank you for sharing the knowledge !
Always a great video! Thanks 🙌🏼
I have been struggling with matching skin tones. Thank you so much! This has become one of my favorite videos from you. =0)
Are you Photoshop GOD?
Seriously I absolutely love the way everything is explained, so simple but also really deep into why photoshop works the way it works and how to understand colors.
I like the multiple examples and how its not just 1 explanation about the technique but more like an exercise with different situations. Amazing
Wow! You make wonderful tutorials. Love the way you explain.❤
Super
Love your work since 2017
This is Brilliant! I’ve been struggling with getting skin ‘right’ and this method of matching skin in a photo to a correct/standard sample tone couldn’t be more logical - it’s a 'why didn’t I think of that before' method!
Thanks, Unmesh. By far the best PS tutorials on the web. A friend of mine who is a professional retoucher recommended you to me a couple of years ago, and I've been following ever since. Very professional presentation of the material and I like that you also include the theory behind the various functions within PS. I've still got a long way to go before I'll feel confident using PS, but it's great to have you as a guide. Thanks for your generous work on You Tube!
Brilliant stuff! Many thanks Unmesh You da master! :-)
Most. Useful. Tutorial.
haha thanks this is helping me salvage some event photography I need to send to people.
there was just such a difficult mix of orange candescent lighting and cool blue backlighting from windows.
Now lets see if I can get this done before midnight
Thank you! I've always been anxious working with skins, now I'm more confident~
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH for the BEST color grading tutorials I've ever seen! I've been looking for this for a long time
I love your videos and just simly awesome very easy to understand it.👍
Excellent tutorial, as usual!! Do you, or anyone else, know if this at all transferable to lightroom? It lacks comprehensive info pallette and sampling across RGB curves. But for a lot of similar images it could be useful as the corrected curve could be used across images.
I have struggled with skin tones for ever, particularly in open shade and under trees where there is a green cast. This technique is easy, fast and accurate. Thank you!!
You're a savior. I love watching your PS tutorials. Damn, this is one of my favorite. Thank you Piximperfect.
You are so professional.
Alright Unmesh, you brilliant man! You have won me over. Joining your Patreon.
Dude your channel is SUPER helpful. There have been a ton of times I've searched for a solution to a problem, and you've been the one who explained both problem and solution best. I appreciate what you're doing!
I Love Your Tutoring Style!
You don't waste time with bullcrap, just always straight to the point.
I love trying to decipher if you're using an soft "t" or a bog standard "d".
Keep on until you're grey and old teaching us blend styles of holograms and things we can't yet imagine!
Awesome video thanks bro.
This is so great! Thank you ! :)
Appreciate that, Kim. Thank you so much for watching :)
I had to stop in the middle of the video to mention that you are the best instructor when it comes to photoshop tutorials, and never knew you could get the perfect skin tones so easily, Thanx for the video and keep making more videos like this.
You have the clearest voice i've ever heard. Must be a good singer too. Loved the vid
you're amazing dude!!! seriously
Great job sir
Seriously, you have the best PSD channel, quick to the point clear tutorials... you are killing it my friend.
This is my favorite tutorial channel on TH-cam. You, sir, are a genuine Photoshop guru and I'm learning so much. Thank you.
Great work
Great. I always have problems with the red saturation in lightroom. It is a pity that there is not the same system for LR. Thank you very much.
Its a common problem with Sony exmor sensors, they will blow out the reds in strong mixed lighting. Try an old ccd base camera, the dynamic range is narrower but they dont have this issue
I am very grateful for this video. I am colourblind and I am always struggling to get the skin tones right. This helps a great deal. For the third image it worked less well, but I think that is because the image straight out of the camera wasn't that good. I only work on pictures in Photoshop that are already good in their raw version. But again: thank you for your inspiring videos!!
Your tutorials are bar none the best on YT and this one is by far the most incredible. Thank you for sharing your detailed knowledge.
Hi sir how are you your videos are Awesome all the time ❤❤👌👌
notification Squad..always good stuff
Such a lovely style of teaching. I am very glad to learn tremendous and confident techniques.
He really knows how to teach. I learn so easily with him.
how do i make my own skin tone pallete? by averaging skin tones from a perfect image?
Honestly, I wonder if Adobe know these features exists.. Way to go buddy.. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 😊
Dude your tutorials are spot on. I've learn so much from you. This software can make so much headache You make this so much easier Keep it up Thanks!
THANK YOU!!! I struggle with skin tones all the time! this saves my life!
My online Master ! you're the best ^^ ! Btw, can you teach me about Orton Effect please
❤️
That darkest tone sample is no where near as dark as a lot of people.
Is there a color code to cover the full range of human skin tones ?
Anthony PC might be a little late but you can probably make it yourself. Just google a skin color chart, throw it in to photoshop and with the eye dropper select the skin tones and in the info chart you should see the color code.
i think it will still fit your photos if you try, you know, the colour is merely there for the tone, you can make it darker all you want
Just darken them until it looks about right. I understand that they should have a similar proportion of RGB as a lighter skin. If not, make your own by sampling some photos. Cheers.
I cannot stop giving you "Likes" in all the videos I watched. Man, you are just brilliant. We can feel how passionate you are about this!! Keep up the great work
Great! This goes beyond anything I have ever studied, plus it's done brilliantly. Thanks
Haha.. "You cannot trust your eye..." 😂😂😂
@@tienduy12345 don't trust an Indian on TH-cam 🤣🤣 not everyone
The last example was astonishing.. really amazing technique, thanks for sharing!
when i watch your tutorials it gives me hope that everything will be just fine :)
Unfortunately this method is not working for me. Your examples have a lighter skin tone. Im working with a more brown skin tone and going through your example step by step warded me not that great skin tone results. The skin came out bluish pink and then it changes the overall color of the image. I think you give great tutorials but this one just didnt work for me. And the steps are so long. When you're editing 20+ images this can get really time consuming. Are you a photographer or a graphic designer? Because this just takes too long....
ME TOO!!!! It changed the skin tone to cotton candy pink. AND it only changes the lasso area. I mean, why would it change every inch of her skin unless it was selected anyways???? These people commenting it worked must be lying lol
A similar thing happened with me. If you're just basing it off the numbers in his download, there's a possibility you might be working in a different color space. sRGB vs Adobe RGB for instance. If you actually sample his palate, you'll see that your sample readings don't match his numbers. This threw me off for a while before I figured it out.
The solution to that is to base it off the sample reading in the new color space, or convert your image's color space to his color space. Check the "Edit>Convert to Profile..." and related menu settings in PS.
This obviously doesn't help with the fact that this method still takes an extremely long time, and is arbitrary than not (everyone has different skintones, theres no true "standard").
Whereas I love this guy's tutorials, the bottom line is that skin tones can't genuinely, truly be fixed with just presets. It requires understanding of lighting, dynamics of white balance, even monitor types and calibrations. I am now employing the use of colour checkers etc. to account for these subtle differences as and when they happen.
You will continue to be frustrated, espoecially when dealing with darke tones. You also touch on an important point; this is just not an efficient workflow for working photographers if perhaps you are shooting say a fashion lookbook. Again, I recommend getting to grips with color checkers and manual white balance.
If someone have problem with AVERAGE giving white color, to fix that just press CRTL when you click average and done! :)
yeah I got this problem, but this doesnt fix it for me? or when do i start pressing ctrl?
Ok I got it, THANKS
@@seblukasser can u tell me how does it work the strg? when ive to click it?
Al So
Ill check it for you tomorrow afternoon, I dont remember right now
What??
Great video. Thanks. I shortened it to color averaging, and getting info on the averaged color. All other curves functions are blindingly fast by just clicking anywhere in each RGB color and manually inputting before and after values. SUPER quick! I also added three interim skin colors for a total of seven. Works really well for everything I've tried so far, with a wide range of skin colors.
Now that is something i was searching for since last month.
At last i get it from one of my favorite tutorial channel Piximperfect.
Thank you so much Unmesh bai.
skin tones are always a result of direct light, the reflected light of the surroundings and the white balance, depending of the time of the day... they cant stand alone - and there is no perfect standard, only different skin types... there is no perfection - not even in a studio enviroment... - if you want to work fast and accurate, learn more about lighting, use a greycard or a color checker which is the common solution for incorrect skintones!
Bhai hindi me Bolo toh. Bhai achhe se samjh me aayenga. Pls Bhai.
I know you are the best. Bat meny people's are not known English.
So Pls Bro are you trying to speak hindi. Pls
This is the most useful video i have watched in ages. Just tested it twice with great results. Thank you so much. Although I do add an extra 2 steps. I set the curves blend mode to Hue, and opacity at 50% 😊
This really helped me! I appreciate this method because the subjectiveness drives me crazy. This gets me to a good baseline, then I can tweak from there. Thank you!
One of the best orators on TH-cam in this category. Truly stellar, man.
Wow, it works! Thank you! I love your step-by-step explanation. Thanks to your channel I learned many new and awesome skills!
This is the most perfect tone correction technique out of those I have compared so far from TH-cam. Thanks a lot.
I love it how you enjoy teaching ♥ awesome tutorial. Thank you very much :) I always had troubles with skin tones, you helped me a lot. Thank you Unmesh ♥
Great lesson on skin tones. Never have to worry again with this process! Thx 🍻
You seriously have the best Photoshop Tutorials Ive ever seen! Just wow! Ive never been given such a high quality Tutorial for free.
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for taking the time to make this awesome tutorial!!
The best thing about you among other youtube teachers is that you don't do "follow me tutorials". You explain!!!! And this is much more important for me because understanding the process and the purpose of tools make the whole difference!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This really is a phenomenal tutorial - thank you!
This made my life easier as a colorblind photographer. Thank you so much
Love the technique and love you. One of the best ps channels around. Thank you for sharing!
Best lessons on youtube IMO - very gifted teacher
I'm a DJ and a photographer/video maker. I like the nature skin tone but you made me re-think about photoshop skin tone. Made my day. Thank you.
your videos have always helped me a lot. its like i have learnt to operate photoshop through your channel. you always make understanding so simple and easy and highly appreciate your patience and clarity! thankyou so much for the skin tones! God bless and keep rocking! :-)
I have just downloaded the pallete... Thanks for sharing your great knowledge of Photoshop. I have learned so from you since I found your channel. It saved lots of my photos...
This is the very best tutorial for skin tones ever. No one just ever taught it before. Sir, you've got a subscriber (i'm lying, i've subscribed months ago)!!
Always love your videos, they give me a lot of knowledge. VERY USEFUL! THANK YOU!
Brilliant! Will have it a go. (I like your workshops BTW!)
Thank you so much, i was looking for this tutorial so long. It will be very helpful for me.
thanks a lot! i've been struggling with skin tones a lot! u're a fantastic teacher! awesome channel
Love your tutorials,amigo. Thank you for sharing and the work you put in.
Great Video! I wished you posted it like 10 years ago. I have always stressed about skin tones. I did go one step further with this. I'm lazy and don't want to edit each picture in photoshop. What I did was import your pallete in lightroom and got the values of each swatch. Top one is 83.9, 78.8, 72.8. I do one of the pictures in photoshop to get the average and stop there. I go back into lightroom and use the tone curve to match those numbers. Then I can Sync all of the pictures! Awesome. This is such a time saver. Thanks so much for your help. I love your videos.
Another great tutorial. You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.
wow This is impressive, I've done something quite similar to correct my colors, but this is way better! thanks, i will deferentially be adopting this technique!
