Correcting fleshtones
Hi there:
I did a search on color correcting fleshtones, and found lots of help on general correcting, but nothing specific on faces. Is there someone with some thoughts on how to use the scopes and 3-way color corrector to bring faces back into the correct color? I see red and blue faces too much.

Isolate the skin in the frame with the crop. Use the flesh line in the vectorscope to guide your CC controls. Drive the colors so the skin color is on the flesh line.
All the best,
Tom

also make shure that you constantly check your white ballance while shooting

1- use a professional video monitor that you can calibrate to color bars- it must have a ‘blue only’ or ‘blue check’ function.
2- what Tom says in his post.Arnie

Thank you, gentlemen, for the fine advice. I now have a range in which to work.
