Frequently Asked Questions

Everything photographers need to know about SkinBalance

Can SkinBalance complement or replace AI Editing tools like Imagen AI, Aftershoot, and Luminar Neo?
SkinBalance is the objective color verification layer that all AI editing tools require. Services like Imagen AI, Aftershoot, Luminar Neo, and even Lightroom Classic excel at applying style, culling, and general retouching, but they cannot guarantee scientific color accuracy, which is critical for affluent clientele. The Strategic Workflow: Use our precise deltas to nail the White Balance/Exposure before sending images to your AI editor (like Imagen or Aftershoot) for a cleaner result that better matches your profile. Use SkinBalance after AI style application to audit a batch, catching subtle color casts that automated editing may have introduced, guaranteeing consistency across the full gallery. Your human expertise deserves verifiable data. SkinBalance provides the scientific confirmation that your colors are flawless, protecting your brand's reputation and eliminating costly reprints.
How accurate are the skin tone recommendations?
SkinBalance was born from a professional necessity: the need for mobile, objective verification that traditional color calibration charts provide. SkinBalance uses scientifically calibrated reference tones from professional color standards, similar to the method used to build in-camera profiles. We are designed to complement, not replace, your physical color chart workflow. Our confidence scoring system tells you exactly how close your current settings are to optimal, with precision that surpasses manual guesswork or basic editing tools.
Can I use this for group photos with multiple skin tones?
Absolutely. Plus plan users can analyze all faces in group photos. SkinBalance provides individual confidence scores and recommendations for each person, helping you find the optimal settings that work best across different skin tones in the same image.
How does this integrate with my existing workflow?

For Lightroom: Apply the suggested exposure, temperature, and tint values directly in the Develop module.

For Capture One: Use the recommended settings in the Exposure and Color Balance tools.

For any software: Download the auto-corrected JPG and use as reference.

No plugins required – works with your preferred editing software.

Does this work with both studio lighting and natural light?
Yes, with a critical distinction for professionals. SkinBalance analyzes the actual color information from your image regardless of lighting conditions, working with strobes, continuous lights, window light, or mixed lighting. Our calibrated reference system provides accurate corrections based on the data it receives. Like any scientific tool, however, it requires sufficient, measurable color data; it works best when the face is evenly or adequately lit, which is standard for high-end portraiture. It may return a lower confidence score or no result if the face is severely underexposed, heavily shaded, or features extreme backlighting that reduces the measurable skin tone data to noise. The confidence score immediately tells you when the data quality is poor, saving you time before you start editing.
Can my assistants or outsourced editors use it too?
Yes! SkinBalance provides an objective standard that removes guesswork from the editing process. Your team gets clear, measurable guidance instead of vague "make it look natural" instructions, reducing back-and-forth corrections and maintaining consistent quality.
Will it help me avoid refunds or discounts over color complaints?
Absolutely. Delivering scientifically accurate, natural skin tones keeps clients happy and protects your revenue. No more discounts due to "the colors look off" complaints or expensive reprint costs from color casts.
How does it protect my professional brand?
Consistent, accurate color across all your work reinforces your professional reputation. Clients notice quality consistency, which supports premium pricing, increases referrals, and sets you apart from competitors who rely on guesswork.
Will it make my editing decisions faster?
Definitely. The confidence score eliminates second-guessing during culling and export. You'll know immediately if skin tones need adjustment instead of spending time wondering "does this look right?" – saving mental energy for creative work.
Do you process or store my client images?
No. We only analyze color values from detected faces for processing – your images are never stored on our servers. Client privacy and your professional reputation are protected.
How do I cancel if needed?
Use the Stripe Customer Portal link in your account settings. One-click cancellation – no phone calls, no hassles. You maintain access until your billing period ends.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes! The free plan includes 15 photo analyses per week with full confidence scoring and recommendations on the 2 largest faces detected. Perfect for testing SkinBalance on your images before upgrading. No credit card required to start.
