Doing Sunless Tan Picture Editing

By Haywood Hunter


Models these days always opt to have a darker skin tone because it looks relatively nicer when they are featured on the magazine. The only thing about getting a tan would be the grueling process about baking in the sun for a long time. In order for models to skip these process, editors in the industry do a sunless tan picture editing session so that the models look darker. Just to give an overview to beginners, here is how to do a very simple sunless tan picture editing work.



Doing some sunless tan picture editing is actually very easy providing one has a good photo editor. The best and most well known editor out in the market is none other than Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 because it is both user friendly and complete with the functions. Of course there are other sunless tan picture editing programs out there like Fotofix, but Photoshop is known to be the best.

The very first thing to do when doing sunless tan picture editing is to run Photoshop and open up the photo that is to be edited. Now the next thing to do would be to scroll over to the right most area of the window and find the layer option. Once it is found, right click on the background layer and click on the duplicate layer button.



The following part in sunless tan picture editing would be to go into the quick mask mode by pressing the button Q. Once it is in this mode, select the black background color and select the brush tool. From there, brush over the area that should be edited.

When that is finished, press the Q button again to get out of the quick mask mode. Go to the main toolbar and press select then click on the inverse option. Now take a look at the photo and see that the parts that should be edited are highlighted.

The next thing to do would be to click the solid fill color button that is somewhere at the right and then select pantone 175 c as the new color. After doing this, take note of the current opacity level and make it as high as ninety percent. One will see that the highlighted parts are now tanned.

The last step in sunless tan picture editing would be to refine the photo with the smudge tool that Photoshop provides. Notice that there are edited pictures that actually look fake because the color of the face is different from the color of the neck and vice versa. That is why it is important for an editor to always blend all the parts together so that it does not look edited.

In a nutshell, those are some really useful sunless tan picture editing techniques that can be used in order to make the model look nicer. However, one must always remember that in sunless tan picture editing, he must be very observant when it comes to the details because sunless tan picture editing is a double edged sword. It can either beautify a photo or completely destroy it in an instant.
