I also find the pink nose and mauve lips a bit jarring ..destaurating or hue shifting should help Male genitalia is often a very different colour from the main skin .. I've had the opportunity to observe quite a few naked people (clothing optional swimming pool). For color shifting full textures I use an antique photoshop filter called 'Convolver', its one of Kai's. Mine's fairly old and creaky, but I use it all the time. It does all sorts of radical or delicate hue shifts, channel inverts, embossing and so forth with losing color or muddying the image. If you can't find Convolver, I'd suggest getting very familar with Adjustment (hue/Sat) layers and layer masks, as thats another way to preserve the full range of tones while shifting/bleaching the colour. There are also filters around meant for color correcting to stitch images together, but they do nicely for matching source photos as well to even skin tones. d-larsen if you get stuck making him paler send me the files, and I can whip out a couple tones for ya :) Lyrra
