Create Beautiful Skin Tones Using Gradient Map in Photoshop

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

I feel like this is a poor strategy. The skin tones need to be at least realistic to the tone of the image. Having a blue/green tone and then an orange skin just doesnt make sense. I think people should focus more on curves for the overall image tone, and then make small adjustments using the gradient map. But honestly, I think the HSL tool is better for this anyway.

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!

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.

Small request! Please go on telling the shortcuts you use. It can be pain in the arse to search everything in thousand different options!
