Instead, stick with the As Shot white balance to start with, and then use the Color Adjustment tool, which is similar to the HSL panel in Lightroom.

Clicking the background makes the image way too cool and purple, which is not going to be useful. Let’s start by looking for a neutral color in the background with the Color Picker tool.

We may fall short if we only adjust for skin tones with Temperature and Tint. Basic Color in ON1 DevelopĬolor is so important here. If the image was underexposed in totality, use the exposure slider to compensate. I would stay away from Exposure in this case because it shifts too many areas of the image. As a final tonal adjustment, we can add some whites to give her skin luminosity. Lower the black point slider to bring back some depth, but use caution-her eyes will be affected heavily by this adjustment. This tool is useful for skin tones in cases where we are evenly lit and just need to boost the midtones. Instead, let’s use the Midtones slider to slightly brighten her skin without adding blotchiness. This is a bad direction for skin tones for this type of close-up portrait. Lifting the whites and lowering blacks until we see some clipping with the red overlay gives us a solid total image density. At the top of the right side tool panel, select Levels to display the Histogram and then hold Alt while striking the J key for Show Clipping.Īs we can see, this Raw portrait is quite flat, meaning it lacks density. For this type of adjustment, I need to use Histogram and Show Clipping. Begin adjusting the image to increase density with the white and black points.

Navigate to the image we want to edit in Browse, highlight the file and click Develop from the right side panel. Basic Toning in ON1 Developįirst things first, I need to adjust my Raw image to get a little more dynamic range for the skin tones. I can also layer multiple adjustments and even mask in the effects to fine-tune things. I no longer have to export into Portraiture or Photoshop right away to clean up skin. I love On1 RAW’s ability to retouch skin directly on my Raw files. On1 Photo RAW offers a nondestructive Raw processing alternative for retouching. These lack in skin retouching, requiring me to export the Raw file to another program just to smooth skin. Working in Lightroom, the closest thing I get to layers are local adjustment brushes and editing pins. From a beauty retouching perspective, there has always been such a dependency on Photoshop’s layers.
