    Great tutorial.

    Hi I know this is an older post but wonder if someone can help me. It seems like I can’t get past when you click on the skin tone you want to change. I don’t seem to have the option to not select or select the mask if that makes sense. If that layer is selected, the mask is selected as well. I have CS3 if that makes a difference.

    I have CS4 double clicking on the third dropper does not open a Target highlight colour window, why would that be? Thanks.
