Hi together,

short near finishing, I realized that I was in Lab the whole time  ;D.
So I do again now in Rgb.
Is it correct only using the Skin1-pin?
Other colors in the pictures are not correct after using the pin. Did we have to use the skinmask?

Which confuses me is, that in wgCMYK no cyan is shown, which I have in "normal" CMYK.
I always use the CMYK numbers for correcting skintones. Is all cyan goes to the k-channel in wgCMYK?

Greetings, Tanja

Ahh, much better in rgb!
No more problems with wrong colors in the rest of the picture.

The last picture is a problem. The girls skin is in parts to magenta, but otherwise the boy gets to yellow.

For this exercise yes you should be able to use Skin1

Other colors in the pictures are not correct after using the pin. Did we have to use the skinmask?

The other colors can take a beating for this.  Try to find a place where the skin looks right with the pin.

Which confuses me is, that in wgCMYK no cyan is shown, which I have in "normal" CMYK.

I would stick to RGB for this excercise.

Hi Greg,

second try was in rgb-mode of cm.
Normally I use rgb in ps too for skintone-corrections, but with the cmyk-numbers on the right of the info-window.
The ps-cmyk and the cm-wgcmyk have different numbers, which confuses me a little bit. There is no cyan in wgcmyk.

Wide Gamut CMYK is created by Mike Russell. 
Photoshop might have a tough time with it outside of CM.

Hi Greg,

I want to try the advanced skintones workflow.
Is there only this very little picture of the baby?

In the pdf I read about "SHN Skin Tones" and a skintone.jpg file, but can not find them.
Do you have a link?
