Sunless Tan Picture Editing At Its Best

By Haywood Hunter


These days, it is very easy to give anyone a little make over with a trusty photo editor that can make people look good in an instant. In fact, even models who do not want to get a tan the normal way can opt to just go through sunless tan picture editing to change their skin tone. In the industry, it is not uncommon for many photographers or editors to do this. So for those starting editors or photographers out there, here is a simple lesson on how to do sunless tan picture editing.



The process of sunless tan picture editing in photos is actually very simple however it is important that one possesses the proper software for this task. Probably the best one to use would be the Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 because it has that kind of option. Other sunless tan picture editing software may be used but the most recommended one would be Photoshop.

The very first thing to do when doing sunless tan picture editing is to run Photoshop and open up the photo that is to be edited. Now the next thing to do would be to scroll over to the right most area of the window and find the layer option. Once it is found, right click on the background layer and click on the duplicate layer button.



One must now be put into a special mode in Photoshop by clicking on the Q button in the keyboard. Select the black background so that it will be easy to see which parts are going to be affected. Then click on the brush tool and start painting that parts to be fixed.

After that is finished, click on Q to go out of this mode. Then move on to the toolbar, press the select option, and then click inverse. Once the inverse option is already clicked, one will be able to see that the parts to be fixed are highlighted.

The next thing to do would be to click the solid fill color button that is somewhere at the right and then select pantone 175 c as the new color. After doing this, take note of the current opacity level and make it as high as ninety percent. One will see that the highlighted parts are now tanned.

From there, use the smudge tool and blend the tanned area with the other parts of the skin so that it does not look artificial. The problem with the usual sunless tan picture editing is that the skin tone in one part of the body is not proportional to the rest of it. So in when doing sunless tan picture editing, always make sure to blend it in very carefully so that it looks real.

In a nutshell, those are some really useful sunless tan picture editing techniques that can be used in order to make the model look nicer. However, one must always remember that in sunless tan picture editing, he must be very observant when it comes to the details because sunless tan picture editing is a double edged sword. It can either beautify a photo or completely destroy it in an instant.
