I've been trying to work on mastering skin tones and removing colour casts. I've followed this tutorial but have had no success with my results. I can do all the steps but it seems I not able to nail down the right colour from the skin tone palette to match? I would love to be able to trust the numbers instead of my eyes as at some point my eyes start to deceive me. I love how you can just match the numbers with this method, I'm just need help figuring out which numbers to match. Someone else suggested using the vector scope and curves to keep an eye on my skin tone. I love how they explain that skin is really just grey and the blood under the skin is what gives colour and of course everyone's blood is the same colour. I've had better success with this, except it is still not getting me the right results. A lot of the time the colours do not light up just right on the skin tone line on vector scope. And when working with a very small area of skin, the vector scope window is super small with no option to enlarge that area for more precise viewing. I'd love to be able to see someone edit and colour correct skin tone using the vector scope, or just explain how to pick the correct colour for the skin tone palette method. Thank you
