Hi Sponge,

Welcome to RP! :pleased:

Getting the 'right' skin tone and colour is, in my opinion, one of the most 'delicate' task when manipulating pictures ....
Skin tone and colour are influenced by: race, age, life style, indoors/outdoors lightings, surrounding bakcground, make-up ... you name it ... :eek:

There isn't a 'golden rule' to fit all these variables.. only guide-lines... in this Thread (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10948&highlight=skin+tone), I listed a few possible ways to a correct skin tone and colour ...

Here (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9785&page=1&pp=15&highlight=skin+tone) is another very interesting Thread on the topic .... and here (http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/?m=show&id=144) is an excellent Tutorial on skin tone correction ....

Hope this helps ...
