Photoshop :: Coloring And Matching Skin Color
Sep 9, 2011
I'm working with 2 pictures of people. My goal is to replace the face-parts (lips, eyes etc.) with each other.
So person 1 will get the mouth of person 2, and backwards. pretty simple, as all I have to do is match the skin color, and from now - piece of cake. (I actually said piece of cake :P )
So, what I normally use are only 2 tools: Hue/Saturation, and Color Balance.
Problem is - it's still pretty difficult to get perfect results. and beyond that, sometimes I just can't manage to get to even a normal solution. so it's very frustrating.
My question is: What are all the tools that are used to match colors?
(Until now, what I basically did is: take the slider, move left - check if better. if not: move right - check if better, if not: return to center. like this with each slider of the 2 tools I mentioned above. doesn't sound very professional, huh?)
P.S. A reference to even a bunch of tutorials and guides about coloring, would mean THE WORLD to me, as around 60% of my Photoshop are coloring and stuff like that.

I have a number of photos to retouch and balance skin toning. The basic problem is that the young lady in the photographs has two distingt skin tones but no clearly defined 'tan line'. The differences are detectable and visible (between her back and backside for instance) and I guess caused purely by sun exposure pigmentation versus those bits that never see the sun!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any tutorials on matching skin tones, for example if I wanted to use a persons head from one image and place it onto the body of another.

I'm doing this for a project, and I need to make those stitches look realistic. I've tryed changing the hue/saturation, exposure, levels, curves, etc. But i can't get the skin tone of the stitches to match the skin tone of the picture.
i want the skin tone behind the stitched to match the skin tone of the face, however i want it to look realistic.

I have a solid green rectangle.
I would like to create several similar green rectangles at various levels of transparency that will perfectly match the color of the solid green rectangle. Is there an easy way to do this?
I have tried matching it by eye, and can get very close:
the original solid green rectangle is R:135 G: 174 B: 155
after making a copy of the solid green rectangle, say, 90% transparent, I can play with Hue/Saturation to get around R:136 G:175 B: 154, according to the eyedropper. But I don't see any way of fine tuning the RGB/HSB/etc. absolute values in the transparent version.

I have a piece of fabric that I'm trying to colour with a variety of different light & dark colours (blues, yellows, reds, black, white, grey, etc). The fabric colour that I'm trying to fill is a light grey which shows the texture (shadows, pattern, etc) of the fabric. In the layers pallet I have the fabric layer set to multiply and placed above the colour layer so that the colour comes through.
My problem is that I'm having some difficulty in colouring in the fabric. With lighter colours it's not a problem, but darker colours appear to saturate the selection too much which results in a loss of texture definition - the cracks in the texture appear that they are filled with paint. At the moment I have been playing with a combination of fabric layers set at different blend modes & opacities: multiply, screen & overlay which works to a certain extent but I'm not happy with the realism of the results especially for the darker colours.
With that said I have 2 questions:
1. Does anyone have any good experience with colouring selections which maintain colour & texture accuracy (to see what I mean, design a shoe at NikeID.com). You can see how they colour a lace in a variety of light & dark colours accurately (accurate colours while maintaining good texture). More generally, what's the 'best' approach here to blend (or some other method) the full spectrum of light to dark colours?
2. Ideally, what colour should the underlying fabric be? (white, grey, black?) And why? I notice that it's easy to colour a predominately white fabric with light colours but increasingly difficult to colour the selection the darker the target fill is.

I want to specify which colors Photoshop can use and I'm doing that (or at least trying to) by using custom index coloring and the color palette. I am using another person's saved color table. This person saved several shades of grey and when I delete these colors my picture is affected. What is puzzling me is that deleting greys have an impact on my picture even though I am not using any grey. Is there an impact because Photoshop is blending colors within the color table to make the picture. Is grey one of the blended colors? I do not want there to be any blending of colors--I just want Photoshop to use what colors I specify.

I often do website images for developers. The problem i am having is matching the web color from a color pick in ps. I have used a method where s i take a screen shot on my MAC and then pull that into PS cs5 (I have cs6 also) and pick. Then i export for web (png or jpeg).
Â
This method gets me inconsistent results.

I know you are all going to say "it depends on the lighting" or "there are different skin tones", but I just need a simple starting formula, of which I can edit to work with the lighting. I just need a simple, generic caucasian skin color "Color Balance" formula, which can be applied to a monochromatic image.

I'm trying to convert some of my digital images into an image that children are able to color in when printed out.
Does anyone know the best way to do this with Photoshop of Paint Shop Pro?
I've been to many tutorial sites but just can't seem to get the right effect.
All I want is for my image to be white with black lines outlining the edges so that my children can be creative and color them in.

I'm using PSE 11 and want to replace the brown color with white using the Color Replacement Brush.
Â
Here are my Color Replacement Brush settings:
Unexpectedly, when I brush over the brown area, instead of the brown changing to white it's changing to a bluish-gray.
Why the brushed color isn't changing to white?

My OS is Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro.

Let's say I have two pictures. The first one is a RAW file and the second is the same file, but a flat PSD with some color and contrast moves done to it.
What I want to do is to (of course start with processing the RAW file so I have a PSD/tiff) and then I would like to match the colors to 100%.
Usually I would do this by eye, but I would like to find out if there's any quicker way to do it? I started to look in to the color sampler tool to get the different values.
Preferably I would also like to have all these color and contrast moves in layers if possible. So that I can adjust them if I want.
---------------------------------
The second question is basically the same but this time the reference photo is a different picture.

I have been working on a gag project that involves placing different co-worker heads on different bodies. However, I have been having some difficulty matching the skin tones. I thought it would simply be a matter of using the eye-dropper tool, getting some average values on the face and body, then using an adjustment layer grouped to the face layer to adjust the color.
However, my results are often not even close. Is there a particular way I'm supposed to be adjusting the color?

I travel around the country and use Photoshop for various projects. I then SAVE AS a TIFF file to my flash drive and take the flash drive to an office superstore (OfficeMax, Staples, Kinkos,etc.) to print on their color printers. I run into a variety of printers, but mostly Xerox DocuColor 250's or Docucolor 12's.
How can I set my Photoshop so that the colors that print on these Docucolor printers are closer to what I see on my screen? I'm already creating the documents in 300DPI, CYMK-8 mode to be as close to the printer as possible.

Is there any way to match close colors? I have two images, and I want to match the color of those through Adjustments i.e. Saturation, Brightness, etc. Attached is a same portion for both of the photos.

When doing a skin for a forum, I didn't use the web colors palette, and after I had sliced the whole thing up and went to export to web as a JPEG, it looked like that... horrifying, ugh. Thing is, when I do a Save As and save as a JPEG, it retains the original colors.
Is this just something I can't change in PS/ImageReady, or can I somehow change the save for web color space it uses? I'd really like to use the original colors, steel just doesn't fly with aqua.

Is there an easy way of setting matching Color Profiles on a Mac ?, To simply ... Loading an Image into default Mac App "Preview", shows different to the Image when loaded into Photoshop. Is there a simple way of making the Color Profile the same ?
Â
However there might be a slight problem, the Thumb preview (in App Preview) shows different to the Image showing. This changes differing on the dependance of Photoshop's Embedded Color Profile.

I have a solid color rectangle on a layer.
I would like to create several similar rectangles on different layers with different opacity levels (i.e. 90%/75%/50% etc), that will match the solid color rectangle exactly, when they are against a white background.
I used Hue/Saturation on the transparent rectangles to approximate the solid color, but the eyedropper shows that I am a of couple values off. Is there a way to accurately match these colors exactly?

I used the FAQ section but nothing seemed to come up.
Basically I have 3 digital photos that are part of a panorama. After I load them into PS, there is a slight color imbalance between each of them, eg the sky in one is a bit more yellow looking than one of the others. So the question is, is there an easy way to select a photo and "color balance" it to match another, similar, image?
I'm using PS v7. I've heard that CS has Image-Adjustments-Match Color.

I've been playing around with this photo I have, I extracted a person's head and placed it in another image on someone else's body.
What's the best way to adjust the skin color on the face to match the skin tones on the other image's body to make it look natural?
I've tried using Photoshop CS's "Match Color" feature but it still doesn't look that natural.

First, a slightly long winded explanation. Shooting the creative family Christmas card this year in a Mini-Cooper (original 60's one). Basically set my lighting up and then shot individual members in the car to post them together. The only snafu - my 20 month old son wasn't exactly cooperating, so the 'good' photograph I have of him is in the drivers seat, and I wanted to move him in between us.
There were a few difficulties here. First, the light changed between originally shooting my wife (windshield was clear), as skies were blue, and when I took the photo of myself nearly an hour later (cloudy skies cast a glare on the windshield. I had a black scrim set up to the side which worked, but wasn't able to knock it out all together. So i faded the clear windshield from my wife's side over to my side with the glare, but I feel that looks fairly natural (or at least good enough for the Christmas card).
The trick comes with my son - I cut him out from where he was at the drivers seat (had to do some shoddy work on his shirt where the steering wheel blocked him), and put him in between us. However, it looks like his coloring is off from what we are - and I can't quite seem to get it right. Color balance is definitely not my strong suit in PS.

I have two images, taken in the same location. Because of slight changes to camera position or other things, they're not the same. The color and brightness are slightly off.
How can I match them? I'm especially concerned about the color.
