  desaturate skin boost single colour

  Posted by Ed Romero on June 7, 2011 at 7:37 pm

  What is the best way to saturate a single colour?
  (used change to color –> Blue to green)
  Blue is now green, but I’d like to boost the green and desaturate the skin tones. It’s keyed footage, so it’s just the actor.

  What will give me the most precise control? Mask?

  Thanks

  Just want to saturate the green more, which is now the new colour of the shirt. Then I’d like to desaturate the skin tone of the actor.
  (Nothing to do with keying, just want a more vibrant green on the shirt)

  I applied vibrance to the image after the other color correction adjustments I made, which has helped a little with boosting the green, but it also boosts the actor’s skin tones. So again, I’ve used filters to bring down just her skin tones.
  Just wondering what other ways I could this.

  Duplicating layers and playing with blend modes and color correction was another option. To bring up the green in the shirt.

  Hope this makes sense.

  Thanks.

  Thanks Dave.
  I’ll look into that, seems to be more precise.
