Matching colors with Curves.
When matching colors between two photographs is it possible to use the color values to achieve the results you want. For instance if you have a skin color of R210, G151, B119 and you want a color of R203, G163, B161 can you input these values into curves to achieve the desired color.

Re: Matching colors with Curves.
I asked this question some time ago, and the advice was that the color temperature of the lighting is so different between shots that this does not work.

Tungsten, sunlight, wall refection, etc. all put different colors in the shot. So to get the same colors in different shots one has to overcome color biases.

Guess that just leaves the old eyeball as the decider.
