    Tim's Tools Super Skin Tones - perfect skin for video and still images in SECONDS

    How accurate is your monitor for displaying colours? How good is your camera at recording them?

    Skin tones have long been the benchmark for video and photo colour accuracy but are netoriously difficult to get consistently right... matching different cameras, your white balancing, lighting and post-production process all can swing your subjects' skin tones towards sick-looking magenta or green... And, even the most minor issue with skin hue can make your subject look anything from jaundice to sun-burnt to corpse-like!

    Super Skin Tones is an easy-to-use tool to help you nail skintones, across a range of ethnicities, without needing to rely on a perfectly-calibrated monitor or an ability to read scopes. It provides instant feedback so you can simply dial in the perfect skin tone in literally seconds - in most cases with just a slight tweak to the overall image hue (or, if you want to, mask out your subject's skin and adjust just that)

    It is designed to work across a wide range of ethnicity, and subject exposure/brightness. It works through cooler or warmer colour temperatures.

    The standard .cube format makes it compatible with almost any modern image or video editor including Davinci Resolve, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, Vegas Pro, Final Cut and more

    Simply drop the Tims Tools Super Skin Tone on your footage as a LUT/color look-up/FX onto your still or video footage, adjust the hue until your subjects' skin is as green as possible, then disable Super Skin Tones. Done. Literally. Seconds. To. Perfect. Skintones! You display can be completely 'off' calibration and it still works - green tells you your skin is good to go! It's aaa-maz-ing!

    A full overview of the tool, and several examples is at https://youtu.be/-jEKoaeJDkM
