With Green Fur??  hmmmpf...
The LAB version is better but the shadow threshold needs to be set. 

The RGB version is well..as I said...green...

I hope this is better.

It is looking better but you are still fighting for control of the image...the Skin Pin is the cherry on top.  Remember from the video you need to have a reasonable correction to begin with...the Skin Pin will cause the rest of the image to go all wacky...

In the shot I posted I did a S/H/N then added the skin pin.  After that I made slight adjustments to make the forearm hair look better...
I would suggest that you get the image into a good spot then add the Pin...

Here is another attempt.

I noticed something.  When you move the master rgb or the LAB l curve, you can move one channel to zero before the others.  The darkest spot may not be 0,0,0.  When you set a black point, it does equal 0,0,0.

Now your getting it...much better....

Thanks, I try not to "cheat".  I mean by that, not looking at past work nor copying your input.
