Skintone Scope

Overview

The SkinTone Scope is a specialized tool for monitoring skin tones. It creates a color qualifier targeting only the skin tone range, offering precision in color grading.

SkinTone Scope settings

Color Models

The SkinTone Scope features two color models:

  • HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) — Ideal for intuitive adjustments as it separates the color (hue) from the grayscale information (value).

  • YCbCr (Luma, Blue-Difference Chroma, Red-Difference Chroma) — Suited for broadcast standards, focusing on luminance (Y) and color difference (Cb and Cr) components.

SkinTone overlay modes

Features

  • Luminosity and Saturation Range — Narrow the range for finer control over skin tones.

  • Overlay Modes — Three visualization options: grid, solid color, or a custom gradient between two selected colors.

  • Global Mask — Apply the skin tone selection as a global mask so all scopes display only the skin tone areas from the active image.

Global mask applied to all scopes
  • Low-Pass Filter — Smooth out the selection for a more natural look.
