Skin/hair tone effects on Sony Vegas or another programme
I was wondering how you can achieve colour effects such as the ones below – and what would be the best programme to use. I have Sony Vegas Pro 8 (trial, I will buy it later) and I have watched the colour correction tutorials and applied them, but they don’t seem to bring out these effects. I can only assume that a specified programme or setting that I do not know of is used in order to enrich the skin and hair tones:

It seems to be a kind of peachy glow that is added to the skin tone and the hair is enriched colour-wise. Could anyone explain how this is achieved and the best program to use?
Many thanks

This can be done right within Vegas with a variety of FX. Look at the Color Corrector, Gradient Map, and Glow for starters. Maybe a combination of them.

Thanks for the reply.
Hmmmmmm.I’ve had a play around with the different settings you mentioned and watched all the tutorials for them, but still don’t seem to be able to achieve anywhere near the effects that I showed above. Are there any specific tutorials around that would show, specifically, how to achieve these kind of effects.
I’m a beginner.

Sorry I don’t know of any tutorials on how to get that exact effect. 🙁 If it only appears on the skin and hair then they must have used a mask to limit the effect to just those areas. You just have to experiment or perhaps contact the original editors and ask them what they used. People work for weeks color-grading film to make it look the way they want. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t reproduce it in a day.
