Hi guys,
Apologies for creating a new thread for this - I've tried searching but couldn't find exactly what I needed.
This is my first beauty retouch so needless to say, I've run into an issue. The problem I'm having is uneven skin tones across the face - the transition from shadow to midtone to highlight contains a nasty yellow/orangey colour (this is most visible on the left cheek, right side of the hairline and under the eye). Obviously I'd like to achieve a more consistent colour in the skin - I've heard that using a gradient map can help with this but I tend to find this creates a pretty unnatural look (perhaps I'm not really using it properly).
I'd appreciate some assistance with this. The image can be found here:
I haven't retouched the lips, body or hair just yet by the way!
