making magic shalonda chubby cheek

I edited this picture and prior to applying the VSCO Kodak 100 vibrant my skin tones on her face were with in the 10 point spread. When I added the preset and decreased the opacity there is almost a 15 to 20 point spread between my red channel and blue channel. My question is should I go back in and adjust the blue channel or do you leave it?

Hi Leah! Great question. Yes I do go in and edit. When I use the presets I not only lower the opacity but I also customize it. I always strive to have my skin tones be accurate (even when I'm intentionally underexposing). This is another reason I like to use Photoshop because I can mask the preset off my subjects skin if I want.

I hope that helps!

Are you adjusting Temp and Tint in lightroom to get the numbers where you want them? Is this what you mean when you say adjust a channel?

Yep I always adjust skin tones in LR by playing with the temp and tint sliders

When using vsco I also adjust the saturation slider a lot in LR because I find they are heavily saturated.
