Skin Tone

[Sean2567]

Hello Everyone-
I have been reading this forum for 2 months now and have learned a lot and just today subscribed. So thanks to all contributors. Looking forward to taking advantage of the many videos and tutorials.
I have had PSE 6 for 3 months and have been playing/learning. The one thing I can't figure out is how to make two peoples images skin tone match. Yes, you are correct, i am trying to put someones head on another persons body. Don't judge me, you know you have all done it.....HA!

I have tried the quick adjustments for lighting and color, but just can't get it right. Is there a shortcut or sample skin tone and paste or something.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean ..

Try this ...

Create a new layer above the head and change its blend mode to colour.
Sample the colour from the other face and with a soft brush at a low opacity paint over the cheeks etc ... avoid areas like the eye, face details etc.

That should blend it in enough to match :)

Thanks Wendy,
I will try that.

And I apologize to everyone for posting the same Thread in two different locations. It was my first post and I did not think the first one went through, so I posted it on the other board, but to my dismay, they both showed up.

Thsnks for your help.

keep your pic in RGB mood

then go to channel - then select only Red hold the ctrl and click on Red Channel it will make selection in image

then make a new layer and put the white color suing ctr+backspace

then press ctrl+D (to deselect the selection)

and now click on the layer (image)

now go to filter/blur/gussian blur (adjust upto 40 to 50%)
now come to layer opacity make it up to 55%

and go to layer mode which would be normal change that into overlay

you will feel the diffrence

try it

say thnx to me ;)
