ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- Learn how to create & apply the perfect skin tone with just Photoshop and find out whether you need a professional plugin for advanced controls.
► Check out Infinite Unify at pix.live/unify
► Check out Infinite Color Panel at pix.live/infinitecolor & use the code PIX20 to get 20% off.
In this video, we will create a skin color gradient from scratch and learn how to apply it using Gradient Map & Blend Modes. Whether you want to fix skin tones, modify them, or create a uniform tone throughout, this technique is an all-in-one solution. We will also apply the same technique automatically with the Infinite Unify plugin and see how it compares to the manual method. Besides, we will test whether the advanced skin tone controls in the plugin can be replicated in Photoshop. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

I love that you still show how to get to the point for people who dont have the money to buy extra plugins. Thank you so much!
you’re helping me so much to master photoshop and i use many of ur techniques in my works, i’m serious bro thank u so so so much for the effort you clearly put in your amazing videos
Thank you. These gradient masks are really cool. I'm an old-school Photoshop user and some old habits die hard - for instance noticing bad highlights and discolouration becomes a skill, but often the fix is dirty - just painting Color layers on top with much more hassle and less uniformity.
Since 2017 you don´t stop to surprise us . *Thanks Pix* ... Love your recent training 😍
Thanks for your easy to follow explanations, one step at a ti. It makes learning less overwhelming!
I just found your channel a few days ago. Your production quality is amazing and your smile so contagious! Thank you for creating such amazing content! 🤩
Great plug-in, the best ever seen. I love it!❤
Thanks for showing.
Thank you so much I have this plugin and I was having a problem understanding it. Great teacher.
Awesome as usual! Thank you Unmesh for the tutorial!
Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial.
Definitely for me. Thank you once again for your amazing content. Love it.
What a great video, helps A LOT in the beginning.
Best soft soft Introduction Ever!!
I love your videos man, even if I don´t use photoshop, it´s really satisfying to watch and it´s relaxing, keep it up!
Wow you totally blown my mind
Thanks this tutorials
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience.
Muchas, muchas, muchas gracias Unmesh!! 🙃me vuelas la cabeza genio!!😊
I love your tutorials! Awesome job :)
stunning as always 🔥🔥🔥
Thx man for the amazing tutorials and with simplicity, basically I found your channel in back 2020 and just because of your way of approach through simple english I loved it.
I also love to animate or design or illustrate things and you and gfxmentor are the ones that made this possible. Once again thank you
wow! we always have everytNice tutorialng to learn! Great to know you!
wow amazing video and explained so well!
Thankyou Soo Muchh...😍🤗 For your excellent🔥💯👏🏻 ps tutorial.... It's Really helpful🥰❤️
what a hearty video for all beginners!
I watch all your videos whether I think I will need them or not. I love getting new information. I do portraits and fine art photography (making my photos look like paintings). I can see how this might be a valuable tool in the portraits, but the fine art not so much. Great video.
Sue! I edit for Fine Art photographers a lot and we specifically use it there, typically to correct color casts on skin tones when we have ambient light bouncing off elements in the scene and reflecting and hitting skin. I don't remove it entirely, but get to subdue them and control just how much colors impact. Also when I edit for high fashion labels, I use it to ensure consistency of colors through garments due to similar color casts issues. Another area is vegetation, like greenery where parts are dying and need to be corrected, the gradient allows me to get a pretty nice and matching color replacement. I work with my partner Bella Kotak and it's been helpful before making large prints for shows as she shoots on the Phase system a lot.
Thank you so much for watching the video :) Your workflow is unique to you; hence, only you can decide what's right for you. I appreciate you being objective, and that is the only reason I also showed the manual method so that you have options.
SUPER WELL DONE!
Thanks!
Thanks Mike!
I know tNice tutorials is an old video but I’m new and thank god I finally found you . Thank you for such an amazing and helpful video ❤️
aah, i just got into making soft rn and tNice tutorials is so helpful and your voice is so sootNice tutorialng btw! thanks for tNice tutorials tutorial
Interesting, thanks!
It did work thank you :)
Love You Sir....❤️❤️
Thank you for this Unmesh! Can I ask you, what is the difference between Infinite Unify and Infinite Harmony?
Thanks, Unmesh!
In your (or anyone else’s) opinion, how does Infinite Unify compare to Retouch4me’s “Skin Tone” plugin? Which one do you prefer?
Retouch4me is an automation tool and is excellent if you have 300 photos or no time. Infinite Unify is when you want to dig deep and have complete control over the gradient. Both have entirely different use cases, and it depends upon what is your personal workflow. If I had hundreds of photos from a wedding shoot, I would use Retouch4me. However, if I was retouching high-end photos, I would go for Infinite Unify.
It will be very helpful in my work but bit expensive at the moment right now
Thank you, Unmesh. Going to check it out. I have Infinite Color which works well in what it does. Unify looks even more useful for my purposes. Great explanation as always!
Mark! Thank you so much, I glad you like color as well! Means a lot!
Thank you, Mark! Loving the new art you've been creating with mid-journey.
@@pratiknaikedu can this be used for other images as well or only for portraits of people?
Frrrrr tNice tutorials man just straight forward !
انت مبدع استمر
First, thank you very much for these great tutorials! one question: does the unify plug in does the same as retouch4me (skin tone)?
Waiting for Video Boss 😀
Do you plan making Affinity Photo videos!? Thanks for everything you have done for the community and for being an amazing person.
Best photoshop master in the world.
I really need this mans skincare routine, it looks amazing in every video wow
Nice tutorial
And you've earned a sub from as well. Hope you reach 1 million subs soon man I'm glad I could add to that number. Hope you're
Many thanks, you made me realize that there is a new version of the plug-in (I had another version) and it's much better than before 😀👍 And you made it easier to use by explaining everything.
Thanks for checking it out Seb!
@@pratiknaikedu you made the plug-in?
@@sebseb3034 After I created Infinite Color, I co-founded Infinite Tools and this is one of the ideas we expanded on bringing to life :)! We have a great team of developers to make this vision a reality!
@@pratiknaikedu Ahhh OK I understand 😀 You made it great. I will check this new version for my beauty retouching 👍👍👍 Keep going, it's great to see teams that are so creative.
@@pratiknaikedu wow the new version is perfect 😀👍👍👍 Just downloaded it, so many more options to edit skin tones, you guys did a very good update 👍
Would this work for Blue light glasses?
Are you using the Producer version, if so are all the effects and tutorial you use in the video included as standard with the Producer
This is really a good plug-in, but I got confused when you were fixing the green color cast from the visor. I don’t know what you did with the mask, but couldn’t you also fix the mask to include that area from the start? I don’t know how you were able to just select the area of the color cast and run the plug-in!
I just changed the Device from asio to SPDIF-out (soft blaster z) TNice tutorials improved the soft quality dramatically. I tNice tutorialnk tNice tutorials did the trick!
You’re amazing! I can’t believe how much I learned from tNice tutorials video. My softs just got 10 tis better after watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials!
creating a second track to add into the recording as I play through the first tract?
It's one time purchase or i buy for updation also?
Can we batch process w this plugin?
You are the GOAT
Can someone point me to the video Piximperfect did about having 2 tiles up side by side that makes realtime adjustments as you do them on one? - cant seem to find it. TIA - Great channel this btw- learnt so much!
not know , but just know you've affected my life, and apparently tens of thousands of others, in an imnsely positive way. Thank you
Ily ❤️
Lovely
I'll probably not get an answer but still, when I opened my soft Roll I couldn't place the "notes" or however you call them that finely, by
Yeah too, exceptt I feel the exact sa way i did.
I haven't come t o your channel for quite a long while and mannn, you've got bigger biceps!! I need to get exercising...... damn it LOL
EDIT: watched up to painting the mask part and OMG!!!!
To download soft soft is the download free or do you have to pay for it?
Thank you so much
Woohoo 🙌
How co when you clicked in your gms soft the notes were so short and when I play mine they roll over each other?
I hear yah mate.
How long does it take to learn soft?
I’m a federal contractor and I’ve been waiting on my next contract to start for 4 months now. MD unemployment is a joke so of course I have had no money coming in for some time now. But my birthday was last Friday and I REALLY wish I could of spent that money on this plug-in instead of catching up on bills lol It is mind blowing. I run into the issue of blotchy skin a LOT and from a time/energy savings standpoint alone, this plugin is ABSOLUTELY worth the investment. Blessings & Kudos to you all for continuing to support PixImperfect so that he can provide us content and tutorials like this on a regular basis.
You know you've learned so much in this channel that you can answer his rhetoric questions. lol
I have a spin-off question. Your channel is brilliant! Why not take a look at doing some Affinity Photo videos. Unless this would conflict with any arrangement you have with Adobe? Most of the people I know have moved over to Affinity products from Adobe due to their pricing model. Having someone with your talent and skills create videos on Affinity Photo would make this a perfect world! Greetings from Scotland!
Unmesh created photoshop, let’s be honest. Dude you’re a genius.
Wow 😀😀
Is Nexus free for soft soft
Plz tell or give description link it is my earliest request
You're the best in my heart 😉
Wait a minute- I see how you assimilated color & tone for 2 faces but what if you have 2 or more faces & you want separate results for each face? Do you have to apply groups or other masking tricks?
Ben! You can make two Unify groups by holding "alt" and hitting create a second time. It will make a second group.
To make this happen in your example, first enable the Black Mask button (the middle button on the bottom of the panel) and make sure nothing else is enabled. Then, make a selection with a lasso tool on the first subject and hit "create". Then mask in the first subject.
Then repeat the process again with the second subject by making a selection on the second subject's skin.
I hope this helps!
@@pratiknaikedu Thank you Pratik. I’ll check it out
I bought software and It doesn't install. Adobe Cloud shows error number - 10. And Infinite team does not respond to email asking for help. Suggested solution from their page doesn't work eather. Maybe somebody knows the solution?
program na drop down nu wNice tutorialch lists all the different app softs. For so reason it makes the default "Agressive TE" make sure
Nice haircut! Thank you for your content. Retouch4Me has changed my life and given it back to me! Thank you.
ok, ive figured you out. youre not from this planet! lol... amazing work as always!
Nice, I also like to edit in photoshop❤️
how to fixt realistic hair brush
I purchased a plugin, but the ССX file does not open. Help.
Look up how to make templates, once you have a template customized for you, you can get to making soft quickly
The “Unmesh” plugin is the best
Am I the only one getting sleepy watching Pix's videos?!?
Not because they're boring ( which they're not obviously) but because of the audio it has sth special to it idk if its the mic
I'm in quarintine (like everyone) and wanted to learn sotNice tutorialng new. I thought I could just figure it out but soft is super confusing for a
Plugin works great, with internet connection. Wont let me work offline. Really Not ideal...
This was a fantastic video. Now I need another plugin, lol. I thought the color contrast for the two kids was very helpful, since I've seen this happen, and it's difficult to fix. Now... If only that picture wasn't so creepy. Like, why is your big brother naked? The photographer is weird.
How do you know he is not wearing a short pant ? The picture doesn't captured his bottom half or abs area.
@@gourabsarkar837 He very well may be, and I sure hope he was. However, the picture was clearly framed in such a way to suggest both subjects were naked. Whether they were or not doesn't matter, because in this case, it's what the "artist" was trying to convey. It's just creepy.
Wish i was
No matter how a.i. comes to the market. Your knowlegde is way more valuable for us! ♥
Sir, I want to send a video from Afghanistan to India, but when I send it, the quality drops. What is the solution?
And which application should I use?
Unmesh, does this plugin work with Lightroom?
Hey Marcus! It's just for Photoshop, since LR doesn't have the same functionality needed to make gradient layers in the same way.
@@pratiknaikedu Thanks.
Snapshots in Photoshop.
I had no idea
❤️❤️❤️
pen pressure not working
a different world. It's the sa laws, but different application. Without your videos, I'm not sure I would be at the level I'm at. I'm not a pro
my methods are
removing yellow cast, green cast if neede first then 10% peach color as a solid color adjustment, then i will give 30% of warmth, 20% glow
