Portrait Skin Tone Correction

I have a set of portrait images that look flat and a little off-color straight out of the camera, and I want them to feel vibrant yet true to life. The sole objective is to enhance natural skin tones so the subjects look healthy and well-lit without crossing into an over-processed or stylised look. To make this happen, I will need you to work directly on the RAW or high-resolution JPEG files (whichever you prefer in your workflow) and apply the following targeted corrections: • Brightness and contrast adjustments • Removing any colour casts that shift the skin away from a natural hue • Fine-tuning highlights and shadows for balanced depth across the face and background Please preserve texture and avoid aggressive smoothing; I’m aiming for clean editorial portraits, not beauty retouching. Colour accuracy across different monitors is important, so a calibrated workflow in Lightroom, Capture One, or Photoshop is welcome. Deliverables are the final colour-corrected, full-resolution files plus a brief note on the steps or settings you used so I can keep the look consistent in future shoots. If this sounds straightforward in your toolkit, I’m ready to send the images right away.
