How would you do the selection for more than person in the photo? I always have a hard time with skin color and to be able to read it instead of relying on what my eyes think is more comforting. For asian skin would the reading be similar to tan readings? So correct me if I'm wrong: M, Y = same. C, K > M,Y.

My C is about 50-60% of M,Y. My K is very very low at under 5%. Would you be able to tell me what my problem would be? TIA.

I find this as one of the most valuable lessons yet for me.

Asian would have a bit more yellow than magenta.

Lighting, white balance temperature plays a role in these readings as well but you might try looking at stock art portraits of particular ethnic groups, take a measurment and go from there. The amounts will very according to lighting so look more at the relative proportion of the comparative percentages.

For multiple people in the photo, use masking on the Adjustment and appropriate settings in separate Adjustment layers

What about african american skin what are the # for them? thanks

[photoshopmama]

the Magenta and yellow the same. for darker skin colors whether tan or aftrican american the Cyan and K amounts will increase a bit.
