How to Easily Correct Colors and Match Tones in Photoshop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- In this video we'll be performing color matching and tonal correction using an intuitive technique I created involving solid fill layers and tonal averaging. While this sort of thing can be done using hue/saturation and curves adjustments, this approach is both simple and effective and serves as another tool for your toolkit. This method requires Photoshop CS5 and higher.

whoa dude this is nuts. I need to take a couple days and just sit through your channel... so many weird and different ways to do things
Thanks a lot Ben! Really appreciate that buddy.
Wow - I just did a wedding, and the groom had just recently finished radiation therapy for skin cancer on a large part of the right side of his face, which made it quite red. Most of the shots were his good side (he was very concious of it) but there is a money shot with the red side that I wanted to fix - this is just what I needed to see! Thanks so much!
I started to watch this channel for 2 days only and the amount of things I have learned is crazyy. By far, it's the best Channel I've subscribed to.
GENIUS! I've been going thru way too many steps for something so simple. Thank you.
Love this method Michael, thanks for posting. I've never used an action before, but I'll have to try this out. This usually takes me close to 10 minutes of trial and error to correct. I've been getting larger batch jobs and this may just save me some serious time. Thanks!
Happy to hear it Chris
This method is exactly what I was looking for! Shooting in a studio, when the subject has make up applied, the neck and chest area is always a problem for me. This method is wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
I just want to thank you for taking the time to do these videos. I find them quite useful and this one in particular I have had issues with in the past. I am not going to find some images to test out. Thank you again.
I just came across your channel and am now binge watching it. Great stuff!
Thank you so much Michael for this fantastic easy-to-use action! You won't believe it but I had a color correction problem now and you got me the solution. Many thanks! Greetings from Switzerland. Gerry
Thanks Gerry, glad you found it helpful my friend :)
It is frustrating when most of your seminar consists of "just run my action". We are trying to learn to use photoshop.
I have to agree. While his work and retouching is insane, and I'm sure he understands what that action does and why, I don't know what it does and it bothers me. I wouldn't use that action because it's such a cheap way of getting the result without having any idea what it's doing. I wish he did explain that.
Totally agree with both of you! I want to know exactly what this action does and why, what is the math behind, etc etc...
That's right but who's gonna buy his course if he explains everything he knows for free? You could easily download the action, see exactly what it does and recreate it yourself if you wish. He basically takes a sample of two colors, creates solid fill layers out of each one, merges them, creates a new channel, inverts it and changes the blending mode of the merged layer to color dodge. Creates two curves adjustment layers after, pulls the highlight of one up and the shadows of the other one down and sets them to luminosity blending mode and 0 opacity then groups everything together creates a mask and inverts it. You are then ready to apply the color and tonal corrections.
I am using CS5 not CC. the link and the action worked exactly as described. Thank you for the great tutorial!
Fantastic as usual! This is a great tutorial. Like Ben I too need to just sit and watch all your tutorials. So much good info and easy to understand. Thank you Michael! :)
You're welcome, thanks!
Very nice piece of work............certainly different.
Thank you for the "Actions Set" too
Man you have some very neat and intuitive ways of doing things! So awesome! Thank you so much for sharing with us! Can you do a professional skin retouching video?
Thanks for the share! Your work is some of the best I've seen.
Thanks for the kind words Austin
Awesome Tutorial Brother 😍😍😍😍
I just deconstructed the action and I must say that it is genius. Thanks so much!
How did you disconstruct
@@umewuziechidiuto5840 It's been so long that I can't remember the specifics. I think I just opened the action and slowly went through it and figured out what each part of the action did. I don't use this method anymore though. I usually use Capture One to do skin corrections.
Hey Mike really like your vids. They're easy to understand and really informative.
Thanks for the great actions, I spend less time in photoshop now.
Happy to hear that Leigh, cheers
Great tutorial.. Clear, Concise and informative. Thanks
Awesome, Very informative and useful trick! Is it allowed to use action in any paid and commercial project? Thank you so much Michael!
OMG! You are the BOMB! I LOVE this! Thanks for this and ALL your freaking amazing tutorials!
Awesome tutorial
I like it!!! I would like to see more Actions that can be done in Photoshop
Could you please reupload the action for download, or make a tutorial in depth on how we can create it?
Loved your videos.
Thank you!
wow! thank you... saved the day
Thank you so much, Michael! Amazing tutorial, my friend! Anton.
Thanks a lot Anton!
Superb! nice intuitive technique and a nice addition to the toolkit... thanks
Has the action download expired? I was so excited to see this video and then so disappointed to see that the link for the acion isn't working. :( However, I have learned a TON with your vids. Thank you so much for these!!
Thanks for your tips. Extremely helpful!
This was so helpful. Can you create the same action(macro) for Affinity Photo ?
this is some great stuff you`re teaching here !
This was an excellent tutorial, thanks, just at the right time for me.
Action didn't work. I followed exactly what was done in video and the color layer that the action produces was some weird green, even though the 2 colors I chose with the eyedropper were skin tones. I decided to just try changing the color of that layer by filling it in with a skin tone and that produced a weird result that didn't work, either. Thanks for trying, works nicely for you but didn't work at all. (I have PS CC).
Same here!
Sometims it's works sometimes not....Idk why?
Try changing the blend mode of the VS-Diff-Fix-Color layer from "color dodge" to "subtract". It worked for me, more or less.
didnt work for me.
Here is a technical question no one seems to have answer for! including Adobe support! I am unable to use 16 bit files when do FS in PS 2015 cc, and support decided maybe changing the blending mode to linear burn would work, it appeared it might, but it does not, Support maintains 16 bit does not work in CC 2015, I say most of the tutorials out there are using 16 bit files and should be using CC 2015. I am putting this question out there for some sort of answer so I could start editing 16 bit files in CC 2015
I freakin cant wait for your premium tutorial.!! Hope its realesed soon :) and this was a very great video. Thanks man.
Thanks a lot for the support... I'm hoping it will be ready soon too. There will actually be a ton of stuff out this summer so stay tuned.
Great tutorial and thanks for the action. You rock.
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks.
Works 100%. Thanks for a great tute.
Thank you so very much.
wow..love ur works and your presentation!
Thank you!
Thanks. Looking forward to trying your action.
I was looking for this. Thanks.
Great tutorial and thanks
LOVE this. seriously wow. thank you
What a trick dude, thanx again :)
You're most welcome
I love your work!
Thank was sooooo helpful! Thank you very much!
Woooow man ! Amazing action thank you dear ❤😍
You're amazing Michael! :-)
THANK YOU!
You're welcome Abdel, thanks
Michael Woloszynowicz What actions you set in ps where are you? I am a friend of China.
Thanks so much for sharing. Amazingly great technique.
Is it somehow possible to download the Action as you mention in the tutorial ?
Thanks in advance - Anders/Liquit
The link is in the description Anders, here it is again:

I'd really like to know the algorithm behind what is going on. It's clearly not just copying colors. Does it like go twice as far in terms of color and then what you unmask is essentially the average of the two?
So good is this!I love it!
WOW! I know you're brilliant, but I found this process really, really difficult (particularly at the end). I am willing to concede that this may have more to do with my lack of experience then your presentation, but the part at the end regarding the legs, was that just chit chat, or an actual step? So confused......
Very cool thank you so much! love it!!!
Great Video will be back often , Thanks !
great tutorial thank you so much!!
thanx a lot it was very easy and helpful
Hi this is fantastic! Only problem I have is that I need the lighter colour to be the corrected colour, the darker (in my photo) is the more natural skin tone, but it only seems to work the light colour in the foreground? Any suggestions how I can make it work in reverse? Thanks so much!
Hello Michel
I found out about you on PetaPixel Just a few so I subscribe to you channel. Definitely I need to take some time to check you videos.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge! ; )
thank you love your work !!!
Wow.. really like this.. Thanks bro..
Thanks Michael and compliments :)
Luv ur technic...thank you
Yeah, this is awesome. Greetings to Canada Michael. :)
can you explain skin tones formula for CMYK? or how do you make perfect skin tones?
You're just showing how to use your Action. Tell us the steps the action took and why?!
It's predominantly using the Blur > Average filter, but with specific colour ranges.
Thank you so much!
Michael Woloszynowicz
you are awesome awesome editor
nice work Michael Woloszynowicz but i have one question?? if i have good light and color face and the nick is have more light and i want to reduce it like the face how can i fix it
You are awesome!!! thanks so much for all!!!
God bless you for this tutorial. Thank you so much!!! :)
I can't find the vs toner fix or vsa? You have a huge selection to choose from but mine only shows about 8 choices.
very nice. good job
this is a great video i've seen
hi michael,
thank you for nice your tutorial. but what did you do to action? ı dont understand action content. please can you explain action content. thank you
What if I wanted to match skin to be darker? Eg. one side of the face is brighter than the other, and I want to match it with the darker side. I tried doing the same thing in the tutorial but it only brightens the skin. When I tried switching the colors so darker color was first, but nothing changed when I painted over the mask.
Love your videos buddy! wish to have more time to learn all this ;-)
What are you doing to get that skin such a shiny effect?
Great tutorial!!! Thank you!!! :D :D
fantastic !!!
I tried the action and it worked great. Thanks for the help. However I don't understand how then to save everything as a .jpg image. When I tried to merge the layers, it went back to the original look. When you get everything done, how do you save it? I am new to photoshop so I don't what the next step would be to save the new image. Thanks.
I love it a great deal
Brilliant, thank you for sharing :)
i dont see any green or cyan , i always feel my images maybe looking weird my eyes are just not sensitive to subtle tones
I don't think this action works anymore with all the new updates in PC CC correct mike?? i just downloaded and tried it and it outputs really bad. ( you also didn't mention that you used a flow of 20% )
Wooow thanks
Question. at 4:33 when you're using the white brush to mask it out, when I do it, the layer on the right hand side stays black... it doesn't show where I've masked out my skin area... I'm stuck ! >.< help. thanks
This tutorial is enjoyable, but please share your hidden tricks not only action. we want to learn something.Thank you
thanks man!
the most important moment in the video and I can't understand what you said at 8:05 - what did you do so those colors blend together??? "hit option ......." ?
hit option+delete to fill with white.
Error establishing a database connection,please chek it! thanks!
you are perfect!!
You rock MW!!!
Excellent - thank you, and well done!! How do I "favourite" this video. I want to be able to find it later..
If you hit the thumbs up icon it will add it as a favourite I believe
Thank you for sharing. Does this work on PS CC 2015? I am not being able to achieve it :(
Michael Woloszynowicz what I get is always a ligher correction :(
aizkiub It worked on the older version.. I don't think I have same results with CC2015.. let me know if you find out a answer.
thanks
what if we must match a lighter area to a darker one?
this is too professional. i lost my way.
HI, Michael
i modify your action for better user, i record select color in 2 click
Thx for the action but, doesn't work for me either?!
