Hey! I just worked on that exact same picture for someone else in another thread!

You guys must know each other...

The other thread asking for help with this image is HERE (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3165)

I used the term friend pretty loosely. We hooked up in a photoshop NG.

BTW, nice job on the pic!

Cheers,
Etienne

hello.
have you tried it to make a selection of the flesh tones and convert image to LAB mode.
by increase L value in midtone, and for pinning A and B channel in midtone while playing around with 1/4 tone value should give you the result.

good luck. and have the patience. i am for using photoshop since 1992 and am having the questions also, but am also happy to giving the help sometimes.
