Create Beautiful Skin Tones Using Gradient Map in Photoshop
An amazing way to create and change skin tones and color in Photoshop using Gradient Maps. Instead of trying to fix the skin tone or modifying it, in this video, we will generate our own tones, choosing the desired highlight, mid-tone, and shadow! You can do this with or without a reference image. Whether you want to copy a skin tone from some other photo or you want to create your own, using Gradient maps makes it very simple, easy, and non-destructive.

Fixing the skin tone or trying to get the skin tone you want by manipulating the curves or other adjustments can be difficult and time-consuming. In this tutorial, we are taking a whole new approach where instead of modifying what's already there, we are going to learn how to create out own skin tone. We'll do this using an awesome but ignored adjustment layer called: Gradient Map. This adjustment layer will allow you to choose the colors of highlights, shadows, and mid-tones of anything that is underneath this layer.
So the fundamental principle here is this: Using either a reference image, or by ourselves, we will select and choose the respective colors of highlights, shadows, and mid-tones and put it into gradient map. Then, using a mask, we will limit the effect to the skin. Of course, we would need other adjustment layers like curves, and Hue/Saturation to control the brightness/darkness of the skin and the intensity of the skin color respectively.
Hope this video helps you! Cheers!

One more time you did an outstanding tutorial, Unmesh! As I’ve told before, you are not only telling HOW to do, but WHY that way. That’s why you’re so good. Your videos gave me a better understanding of “what’s going on inside of the box” Even when you make some small mistakes, while recording tutorial - that’s for good. Because those mistakes, actually, might be helpful to people who confused with "why it doesn’t work". And they will find the answers in your vids right ahead. Its kinda lesson inside a lesson - "you might get an issue at this, here how to solve it". So, the best advantage of your tuts is teaching people how THINK and analyze photo, not just stupidly clicking and dragging sliders. Go on and best wishes. Good job!
I believe this is the best straight up photoshop training Ive seen on youtube.I intend to support this channel as I can. Thank you so much for your great knowledge!!

Super video. Clearly and interestingly explained. Thank you. I had trouble in sampling the colors from the 'face'. Then only I realized that 'SAMPLE ALL LAYERS' need to be selected on top! Might be a useful hint to others. Thanks again....

what i do when i am matching forground to background color this is my biggest problem plz make a video about it
(control and command C & control and command we) is that what you said bc its not working
great tutorial- but what am i doing wrong. every color I select on my gradient map is a dark green. It is not picking up the colors of the reference face HELP!
My working document is 32bit, when I copy paste an image from the internet to sample from (in 8 bit) I get very different colors - do you know how I can solve this please?
When I go to sample the other face it doesn’t let me it’s still trying to pull samples from the picture I’m working on, what am I doing wrong?
can you please make a video tutorial where you swap the face of model B on the body of model A and then match the skin tone .. please make at least 2 to 3 examples.. thank you ... like your videos a lot.
Hello. I’m artist from Russia, but I really like your vids. I have one question that bothers me for a long time. Is it really impossible to change one color of gradient map for fully 0 transparency? I know few settings in layer settings, but when I try to make it in gradient map menu, it doesn’t work. Please, if you know the answer, tell me) Thanks.
I have been watching photoshop tutorials for portrait editing for about a month now.I have yet to find anyone who comes close to Unmesh!

Hello, can you avaible subtitles in spanish (youtube) in your videos please??? Your videos are amazing (really) and I wanna understand it better... Thanks :)
What is new in photoshop 2018
Gradients maps are an amazing tool for many situations but not for skin tones ! The colors of the face are matched but not the rest of the photo. In every example here the face stands out in a wrong way and that's the problem with this method. I'm also a fan of Gradients maps but not for skin tones correction !
pata nhi kyun lekin mae ye smple images download nhi kr pa raha .
watching your videos i feel i know nothing in ps
Small request! Please go on telling the shortcuts you use. It can be pain in the arse to search everything in thousand different options!
