A Fast Way to Colorize Skin in Photoshop

In the Putting-It-Together project earlier in the chapter, you find out how to colorize a black-and-white image by brushing color onto the document. This project shows you how you can get a more realistic skin color by colorizing a person’s skin using the Hue/Saturation command. This technique works especially well with those who have naturally dark complexions. Just follow these steps:

1. Create a copy of the underlying black-and-white picture layer and then choose Image➪Adjustments➪Hue/Saturation. The Hue/Saturation dialog box appears.

2. Choose the Colorize option and move the Hue slider all the way to the left to produce a sepia tone. Set Saturation to 25 percent and click OK to colorize this layer.

3. Use the Eraser tool to remove everything in the colorized layer that isn’t skin.
