the default 50% opacity. Above this is the Yellow Tint layer. The default opacity for the<br />

tint layer is 0%. As you increase the opacity this will cause the skin <strong>to</strong>nes <strong>to</strong> become<br />

more yellow. In most cases you should only want <strong>to</strong> increase the opacity of this layer <strong>to</strong><br />

around 10-15%.<br />

Skin Tone Enhance Masks<br />

The Skin Tone Enhancement layers are au<strong>to</strong>matically masked during the Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit process<br />

and in most cases this does a very good job of deleting everything except the skin<br />

<strong>to</strong>ne colors we wish <strong>to</strong> see enhanced. If you apply the Skin Tone Enhance + mask effect,<br />

the mask is preserved as a layer mask on both the Skin Lighten and Yellow Tint<br />

layers. The reason we provide this additional effect is that some users may prefer <strong>to</strong> edit<br />

this mask <strong>to</strong> fine-tune the <strong>Color</strong> Enhance adjustment. For example, in the above image I<br />

edited the Skin Lighten layer mask, by adding black paint <strong>to</strong> the background areas as<br />

was felt necessary so the skin <strong>to</strong>ne enhancement effect was concentrated mainly on the<br />

skin <strong>to</strong>nes only.
