Master the right way to fix, match, and enhance skin tones in Photoshop, and learn the only approach that works 100% of the time, no matter the image, lighting, or subject.

In this video, I’ll walk you through a complete real-world example to show why skin tones are never about fixed steps or magic sliders, but about understanding what’s wrong, what needs to be fixed first, and what truly needs enhancement. You’ll learn how to diagnose color casts, deal with uneven and mismatched tones, equalize skin naturally without making it look fake, and enhance it while still preserving human variation and character. Instead of memorizing settings, we’ll focus on concepts, decisions, and the thought process behind every adjustment, so you can confidently apply the same approach to any portrait you work on. If skin tones have ever felt confusing or inconsistent in your edits, this video will help you see them clearly. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
