  Skin tones issues

  Posted by Stuart Samuels on June 28, 2012 at 5:13 pm

  Hi.

  I’m a little concerned about the skin tones that I’m getting from my DSLR.
  I shoot with the CineStyle colour profile then use the CineStyle S Curve LUT to get the colour and contrast back.

  My problem is that the skin tones don’t show much colour when I look at the Vectorscope. This seems to happen a lot despite ensuring I white balance and light as well as I can.

  Here’s an example, basically I’m asking if the below image is an “acceptable” skin tone for a natural look?

  Here’s the image with the Garbage Matte applied:
  

  And here it is without the garbage Matte:

  He’s a fair skinned guy and your isolated skin tone screen
  shot is aligning very closely with the skin tone line on the scope.

  I don’t see a problem here.

  That’s great, that’s all I needed to hear. I was just a little concerned how little colour it seems to be displaying, but as you say he’s fair skinned so to be expected. Just double checking to be sure.

  Thanks for you advice.
