I guess you know Photoshop can handle this, using layers and paths.

At least for Daz3d stuff, there are numerous seam guides that at least show you the color-code edges. Match purple to purple, green to green,... A good place to start.

In Photoshop, you can use paths to create nice curved sectios to fill with a lighter color. A crude but effectively way to use this is

1. open target MAT
2. paste seam guide as new layer, and resize it to match.
3. create a new layer for tan lines
4. using the seam guides as a reference, create crude paths
5. fill with light color / white
6. save as MAT, check in poser
7. use Gaussian blur to fuzz the edges of the tan lines
8. set the transparancy very low (like 10%), or alternately use layer properties to lighten
9. save as the same MAT
10. recheck in poser

Is the problem that the tan lines don't match the clothing? For example, a sun dress with a fallen strap?
