Default How do I achieve this skin tone look?
This is a wonderful photographer in Canada and there is no way I could mimic her actual style - but I love the blown out skin tones she does - and have seen other photographers do it as well, but I can't for the life of me get it right. Anyone able to shed a little light (snicker) on this for me?

Here is a picture I used it on, like my e-mail said it's not the full opacity of it, it can definately brighten it more but I just use it a little.

It looks like many of us would like to have this action. If you don't want to share with anyone else I understand. Great look!
