Re: matching skintones in elements
The most likely candidates would be Hue/Saturation and/or Color Balance and Levels, that's more or less what you're doing with curves but in seperate dialogs, so it's a little more tricky to perfect. _________________ A happy-go-lucky chap, always dressed in black |

Levels is similar to Curves, it adjusts the highlights, shadows and mid-tones. _________________ It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays |

Re: matching skintones in elements
The 'curve' represents the highlight/mid-tone/shadow scale. The top of the scale is the absolute white point, the bottom is the absolute black point and the middle, well, work it out
If you were to edit a grayscale image, each point along the line would represent a single shade of the 256 colours, black to white. When you switch to the individual colour channels, you are adjusting their absolute points and anything in between. _________________ A happy-go-lucky chap, always dressed in black |
