One of the things I struggled with for years was color correction. Now that I look back at my old work, I realized I put MORE emphasis on color correction and “getting perfect skin tones” than I should have. Today, tools to get the “perfect skin tones” are advanced and offer a wide range of devices, but it should be noted that you do NOT need them if you can’t afford them or if you are happy with your editing.

Some of the tools available to us for color correction are:

Datacolor Spyder4Pro S4P100

Pantone huey Pro MEU113

Here’s a quick video showing how to get skin tones correct with out the use of devices
