Default Help :)

I had a photo shoot yesterday and there skin tones need to be toned down...or do you think something else needs to be done?

I have PSE 7, how can I do that in there?

I attached the photo so you can see what I am talking about...

In PSE7 the easiest way to adjust the skin tone of this image i think would be go to ,Enhance > adjust colour> adjust colour for skin tone.
I did do it, and i got i quite natural looking, you just have to tweak the sliders a bit.
Apart from the skin tone being a bit off, i do like the pose.
Another thing you might like to try is to clone out the building so there is just sky behind the boys head, also there's a palm tree growing out of the womans head i find a bit off putting.
i hope this helps...

After saying all of that, did you shoot this in RAW or jpeg? if you shot in RAW all you should need to do is adjust the colour temp to get a cooler skin tone.
Here's a quick 2 minute edit i did using the skin tone adjust,( if it was my photo i'd spend a lot more time on it) hope you don't mind.
