Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi Damien, I realize I need to retake the class and I will asap. So, please if you can, show me how to mask off the red in his sunburn face with saturation layer mask. Thanks so much. Sharon Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi Sharon, yes, I can definitely help you with this. Did you shoot it in raw format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yes. But I don't know how to post a raw pic. I changed it to JPEG and saved on my desktop to pass it onto you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 So sorry about my delayed response. I had family visiting. Yes, saving the raw file as a jpeg is exactly the right way to do it. But I need you to do the raw processing first (white balance, exposure, etc). Go ahead and do that, then save it as a jpeg again and upload for me. By the way, never forget the noise removal as part of your raw processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 No Prob. Is it ok if I do the pre editing you mention in LR instead of ARC? My work flow is doing the pre edit in LR then move into PS. If so, do I do this then drag the file over to this place to upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 This is what I did in LR I adjusted the Luminance and color a little then white balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I can't stress this enough. Almost ALL skin tone problems come from incorrect white balance, and that's definitely the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I pulled this straight into ACR and hit Auto. Did this fix the white balance and noise problems? I do see a difference when I hit preview arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Haha. I just saw your request for me to "Change My Life". After we adopted 3 older age children that did not speak our language and now all teenagers, I say, "I need a new life" all the time. But in the world of Photography I may take you up on this and get rid of LR. I will certainly give it a try. Did I totally tick you off when I told you I hit "Auto" in ACR? It was kinda scary to reveal this fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Miles Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Can I ask another question. When I work in Lumanance and Color to help grain, it is what happens in Portraiture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I can't see the noise, because you haven't showed me a 100% crop. But I can definitely see that no, the white balance is still wrong. Please please PLEASE take The Raw Class. Your life will be plagued by what you think are "skin tone problems" until you know how to edit raw files properly. 1 hour ago, Sharon Miles said: Can I ask another question.
