Overview

Skin is the only colour every viewer is an expert in. Get it wrong and nothing else matters.

Skin Compass puts every face on the line, keylessly.

It isolates the skin band in Cb/Cr, the same plane your vectorscope draws, then:

  • Unify Hue pulls stray hues toward the target (default 123°, the skin line)
  • Even Saturation pulls blotchy chroma toward a target value
  • Skin Sat and Skin Exposure adjust just the skin

Diagnostics

  • Skin Mask and Skin on Grey to check isolation
  • Hue Error Map: magenta = too red, cyan = too yellow/green

The mask is soft by design: no qualifier edges, no frame-to-frame chatter, no tracking. Ruddy cheeks, green spill, mixed white balance, tired afternoon faces: one node.

Run it on a display-referred node (after your output CST) for scope-accurate results. Requires Resolve Studio (DCTL).
