    Hi Corey, I found this site though Scott Kelby blog today. I was watching a older video of photoshop user tv lastnight where you were doing a tut on the warping tool. You were adding a lable to a bottle of wine. I am new to photoshop and I was wondering if you could do a couple more of those tut here on your site when you can find the time? I do realize you guys are very busy. Thanks for this site. It looks really nice.

RGB Flesh Tones: Getting The “Red” Out

If you’re working on an RGB image and you’ve done your basic color correction but the flesh tone in your image still seems too red (a common problem), here’s a tip to fix it fast. First, select the flesh tone areas in your image (using the Lasso tool, etc.). Add a slight feather by going under the Select menu and choosing Feather. Enter a 1-pixel feather for low-res images; 3-5 pixels for high-res images. Go under the Image menu, under Adjustments, and choose Hue/Saturation. From the Edit pop-up menu, choose Reds. Now lower the Saturation slider until your skin tones look more natural and click OK.
