# Adjust the color of skin tone

The Adjust Color For Skin Tone command adjusts the overall color in a photo to bring out more natural skin tones. When you click an area of skin in the photo, Photoshop Elements adjusts the skin tone—as well as all other colors in the photo. You can manually adjust the brown and red colors separately to achieve the final color you want.

Original (top), and after adjusting skin tone (bottom)

1. Open the photo and select the layer that needs correction.
2. Choose Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Color For Skin Tone.
3. Click an area of skin.

   Photoshop Elements automatically adjusts the colors in the image. Changes might be subtle.

   Note: Make sure Preview is selected so that you can see the color changes as they occur.
4. (Optional) Drag any of the following sliders to fine-tune the correction:
   Tan
     Increases or decreases the level of brown in skin tones.

   Blush
     Increases or decreases the level of red in skin tones.

   Temperature
     Changes the overall color of skin tones.

5. When you’re finished, click OK. Or, to cancel your changes and start over, click Reset.
