I've been color balancing photos in photoshop for over a decade, and let me tell you, models are some of the pickiest people you will ever meet when it comes to skin color. LOL. I've developed a very sharp eye for realistic skin colors on a computer over the years. I have free skin,eye, and hair texture reference guide called, "True Colors" based on an invaluable resource of the book on colors for me. The zip file includes a gif image and a Photoshop .aco file. IM me and I will email it to you. My website currently doesn't allow downloads. You will have to open the texture files you want to adjust in Photoshop of another image editing program and then adjust levels, hue, and saturation to match a realistic skintone. I edit all my purchased textures for Mike because they could all use either use a tweak, or I want to create a different skin tone with it, like turning a Dark Winter into a Soft Autumn. There is also a kit for making your own realistic skin color textures for purchase on the PoserPros site. I don't own it, so I can't tell you if it's good or not, but it looks cool. Maybe it will help you. Good luck! bB
