				I am very new to image composing.  I tried to put my face on a movie poster and problem was that I could not match the skin on my face with a skin of an  actresses neck. I guess it requires a very good knowledge of color correction techniques? 
 
who can give me a hint on an easiest technique? I would also appreciate a referral to a good tutorial. Many tutorials online however, just show what tools they use: either color balance, levels , curves.  but I problem is how to achieve to match skin colors? 
 
Thank you very much  |
