PSE.NET Tips 'n' Tricks
A new color control was introduced in early versions of Photoshop Elements that was designed specifically to allow you to adjust the skin tones within your picture.
Making changes with this feature is a two-step process.
01When the feature first opens you need to use the Eyedropper tool to select a typical section of skin within the photo.
02Next you can adjust the color of the skin using the Tan and Blush sliders and the overall color of the picture with the Temperature control.
The picture can be reverted back to its original hues by selecting the Reset button, or the changes applied by pressing the OK button.
As the Skin Tone tool averages tones as it works, multiple clicks around different parts of a person's face will often refine the results. Holding down the Ctrl/Cmd key while clicking turns off averaging and will resample with each click.
