Using the Healing Brush, with unblemished skin with the 'grain' in the

Color management is a whole discipline or process that involves
calibrating each step in the chain of capture, display and printing
devices to color standards. I wasn't really proposing that you dive into

frustrated by problems of color matching, you will know that there is a
way of bringing it under control.
