Preparation: Get the image that you want to x-ray (making sure the shirt is thin, white, and mostly slightly see-through already will give you the best results.)

When using manual select, I recommend using magnetic laso. (right click on lasso and then click "Magnetic Laso Select")

How To Skin Colour Match After X-Raying.

Before getting started, these methods work best with white, see-through cloths. It can work with darker cloths or different colours, but results may be lacklustre.

Step 1: Start with Xraying using the methods of the last post.

Step 2: Once done Xraying, select the colour sampler, set the Sample Size to 5x5, and sample the RGB values of the skin and clothes by clicking each.

Step 3: Go to Images ---> Adjustments ---> Curves...

Step 4: Now all you have to do is match the RGB of the cloth #1 to the skin #2. You can go to curves, channels and use each Red, Green and Blue Adjustments to change the individual RGB values.

I click in the very middle of the X and Y axes. Then I prefer scrolling on the X axis, but you can do the Y Axis if its easy for you.
Scrolling right/down DECREASES the value Scrolling left/up INCREASES the value
X=Right/left (More consistent with the overall process)
Y=Up/Down (Easier to remember)

Your first RGB values should look something like this. (You can see RGB values by clicking the symbol on the top left and going into info)

Focus on the RGB values at the bottom of the screen. #1 Should be your skin, and #2 should be your clothes. (This is a preference)

Match RGB #1 to RGB #2 using the methods. I'll show an example of me going through the whole process. Happy Xraying, Best of luck to all of you!
