5.9.4 Skin Detail

Skin Detail is set up to select a particular color range. The Detail level within this color range
can then be set independently of the rest of the picture.
Skin detail is mainly used to reduce the level of Detail in a person's skin tone to produce a more
attractive picture. Decreasing the Detail level of a person's skin softens the skin tones only. But
the Skin Detail function is not limited to a particular color and so can also be used to achieve
various effects in selected color areas. For example, decrease the detail level of a soccer field
to accentuate the players or increase the Skin Detail level to accentuate a rough surface.
The color range to which the Skin Detail level is applied can be selected automatically or
manually. Three skin detail ranges (called Skin Gates or Sets) can be independently defined;
they can be used at the same time.
