I also lighten them as well. My favorite way of doing this is using a "Hue/Saturation" layer in Photoshop. There you can select the red channel and both lighten and de-saturate the reds. Of course, you have to mask out the skin areas. Do that however works best for the image being worked on. Mar 25 15 10:00 pm Link Honestly it depends on your starting point. It might be as simple as pulling black from the reds in selective colour if they're in the right range, if not there are plenty of ways to do it, it's just about having the right shots to do it to. Do you have a shoot you're currently working towards this look for? Happy to take a look if you want to post what you've got.

The best way is you to play around with gradients, curves, selective colors and learned them very well so you will know every tool action. Gradients arent a trick, people play around with them as how this retoucher did.

Mar 27 15 03:19 am Link i don`t want the same.. just i love that skin tone and wanted to know if there is another way other then reds from saturation.. that was my way to try it. thank you for responses Mar 27 15 06:02 am Link as for gradients i use them alot also and play with them https://www.dropbox.com/s/h72oqo30kang0 … 6.tif?dl=0 does the background matter? since i saw most of the pics like this on light colors. i`m curious most for lookbook shoots.
