Hello everyone, this is a film story.
In this video, we will learn how to correct skin tones.
Let's start working on correcting
pretty and smooth skin tones.
First of all, the first thing to do is
to change this to rec.709, which is a general color space,
because it is shot with slog3 now.
You can do this manually, but you can easily do it using a conversion lut.
The lut I use is a phantom lut and there are others, but
I will try to use this lut, slog3 to rec.709, which
you can get it for free.
it's not bad if you put the lut and
then export the video only like this.
You can say, 'You've done some color correction', but it's actually not that interesting if you do it this way.
You can't really say “the color is pleasing”.
So now I'm going to touch on this a little bit.
One difference from hlg is that
it puts the lut in front.
Because after putting this lut in and converting it, you have to
correct the primary and secondary.
Press alt+s / option +s to create one more node. Look at
Exposure, I think it's not bad.
I don't think there's much to touch. I'm going to raise the highlight
slightly and lower the shadow very slightly.
Then I'll just change the curve.
S-curve slightly like this.
Doesn't this alone make the color come alive? Before & After.
Not bad. Now, let's create another Node and set White Balance.
White Balance also seems to be almost correct, but
our actor is wearing white, so let's adjust the
White Balance with the Picker.
252, 251, 253 I think you can pick this point.
Now, the next thing you'll see is... I'll add some Contrast.
Of course, I added a bit of contrast while I was fixing the exposure, but I
L'll add a bit more contrast here.
Add a little Contrast, then Saturation.
like this Then I'll raise Color Boost.
Now let's make it come alive.
And this is all right. Not bad.
good
Now, let's correct the skin tone.
If you look here, the problem seems to be that the skin tone is a
little bit greenish due to the light and the background
Let's Change it back to your original skin tone. There are some shadows because it is backlit.
Let's light up some of the shadowed areas.
So, there are many ways to get the skin tone, and there are actually several ways
to do it. You can do whatever you like.
Qualifier picks only certain areas of the clip
by pinpointing a specific part .
So, pick this part of the skin
there is this icon like the Magic Wand. You can tell which part is selected ,
So select the skin and click the plus button here
and add unslected parts.
After that. If you adjust
Hue and Saturation, you can fine-tune it.
Now, there is a problem here. I only selected the skin, but
the maple leaves in the background were selected too. If you look at it, they are quite similar to the skin tone.
So, all the colors that are similar to the skin tone were selected.
In this case, it can be a problem. Let me tell you why.
look. Now, when you adjust this skin tone, use a
Vectorscope. If you look
here, you can see a line appearing when you click Show Skin Tone Indicator.
All you need to do is match your skin tone to this line.
However, this part where the problem is protruding
represents the autumn leaves above here. In
this case, it can be quite difficult to
find the skin tone, and secondly, not only the skin tone will be adjusted, but
also the correction will be applied to the leaves. it may give you undesirable results.
For example, let's go a little extreme.
this happens because it was all applied in this way.
If you look, there's a line here.
far right line. I think it's skin line.
So, you just have to align to this line.
The skin is somewhat revived.
You can see the green turned to red.
But what if I want to change my skin only, not the background?
In that case, you can do this.
The Window Tab here is the Mask Tab.
If you go and click the circle once, a mask is created.
So, you take it in the shape of your face.
So, what changes have occurred?
Notice that only the face skin tone has changed from green to red.
Look, after seeing this, don't you think it is a must, to correct the skin tones?
Now, I'm going to add some red via adjusting Gamma too.
Then raise the red in the shadow.
I said I will light up the dark areas in the face
I will also use Gamma to increase the
overall brightness.
After that, another thing you'll need
to do is to adjust the Midtone Detail. It says MD.
Increasing MD
will add more details, as they become sharper.
However, if you want to make your face pretty and remove blemishes, you
can reduce the Midtone Detail to a minus value.
I'm going to set it to -23 so it's not overdone.
Yes. Now, skin tone correction is done. I'll label it.
After that, I'll make another node and do creative grading.
I'll go to the Curve Tab, go to RGB, then
touch Red first.
This is RGB Split.
By changing the RGB levels of Highlight, Shadow, and Midtone,
I separate the background from the person.
So, in this part, you can change it according to the style you want, but I will
lower the shadow of the red part a little and raise the highlight a little.
I see reds in the background
increase the red levels
For blue, I'll leave the midtone and raise the shadow
and for green, I would raise mid and highlights
but because there's too much green in the back ground
I would now want to reduce the green.
Okay, forget about green. Yes. Let's see.
Before & After.
The creative grading is done now.
Now you can see that the skin tone has been
slightly affected by the grading .
So, I'm going to create a layer to bring this part back.
You can make a layer now. right-click and click Add Node-> Add Layer. it is a layer same as you see it in Photoshop.
One different thing is that the layer below is actually the top layer.
One below dominates the one above.
So, if you pull this blue node and connect
it here, the information that holds this skin tone will be brought here.
You apply (skin tone) one more time.
Grading causes the skin to become more red, but you are making it neutral again.
but it seems now to have a bit of a green tint.
So, in this case, go to the Key, go to the Node Key, and then
decrease the Gain Output. If I reduce the Key Output, it turns red again, but I'll try
to bring it back a bit. It's a very subtle change, but
you can see that the skin tones have changed a bit again.
set it to about 35%.
To adjust the skin tones,
I used a mask. Now You have to go to tracker tab
Because as the video progresses, it comes off the face.
Go to the Tracker Tab and press the play button. If you press the play button,
it automatically tracks the face as it moves.
Okay I shared with you how to make a perfect skin tones. How was it?
