12. Adjust the specified color areas of the portrait of the man

 To further adjust the tint color of the skin of the man, which is the main character of the image, use [Select Specified Color Area]. By applying this feature, you can adjust the tint color, which could not be adjusted with [Hue and Saturation].
12-1 Make adjustments using the adjustment layer of [Select Specified Color Area]
 Load the selected area of the portrait of the man again. Hold down the Ctrl key, and click over the thumbnail in the layer palette.
  The selected area of the portrait of the man reappears.
 Create the adjustment layer of [Select Specified Color Area] to make adjustments while the selected area is selected.
Making adjustments in the red channel
 Move the [Cyan] adjustment slider and [Magenta] adjustment slider over to the negative direction, so that the skin will not become reddish. Move the [Yellow] adjustment slider over to the positive direction, so that the skin will not become too yellowish.
Making adjustments in the yellow channel
 To add emphasis on yellow, move the [Yellow] adjustment slider over to the positive direction. Be careful not to add too much emphasis on the tint. To improve the quality of the skin, move the [Black] adjustment slider over to the positive direction, to the point that the skin does not become too black.
The color adjustment for the skin has been completed
Making adjustments in the white channel
 To make the white portions of the cap look three-dimensional, move the [Black] adjustment slider over to the positive direction. Set it to +10, so that overall it doesn't become too black.
