Linda,
One should be careful about trying to lighten the skin of some folks just
because you are accustomed to seeing predominantly white folks.
Quite often black people are really really black and it's best to leave well
enough alone and don't try messing with levels and other Photoshop
adjustments as you might do the people a disservice trying to make them look
lighter. Accept that ius the way they are.
Linda isn't alone, as I do believe there have been several comments about
making the skin lighter?
Just a passing thought having photographed many black and very dark skinned
people over the years.
ted
thank you Linda...really not the best light, hard to make them light,
and look correct as they are very dark skinned...
