As I work on skin tones in CM one of the biggest hurdles is knowing what "Skin Pin" to set. I have created a few resources for you to use and build upon.

The first is a JPG image that I have posted before that has an extended range of skin tones for you to choose.
You will need the ID and Password to get to this image.

The next is a set of pins that I have posted in the Pins Area. Pins.txt needs to be copied to your pins folder.
The Jpg is available there too but in a smaller version.

Lastly is the work flow...

A special thanks to Ganna for the wonderful example of needing skin tones corrected.

Greg,how do I get the gradient from the grad editor to the new doc I created?Not really a computer person.GregM

The gradient is a separate image...you just sample it for the Pins. You need not bring it into the image...
But you did just spark an idea...I'll get back to you if it works....
