Color correction is a recent journey for me - a very new & unfinished journey ("and miles and miles to go" comes to mind). So take anything I say about color "correction" with a grain of salt. You've been warned! ;-) And thus warned ... here the books and a couple of websites from which I've been learning:
Skin by Lee Varis - there was one chapter, especially, that broke down skin tone into a very understandable formula.
Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correction by Dan Margulis - this a very thick (both literally and figuatively) book that I will probably be attempting to understand for the next several years. a very valuable reference to have on hand. not so easy to understand, tho.
Pleasing Skin Tone - this is a very helpful online article from SmugMug's site that incorporates ideas from the above two books.
Help for Red Skin Tones - another helpful article from SmugMug.

I sent you an email with great info on Dan's online classes about his workflow. It really helped me to grasp the concepts a little better watching him rather than reading his book. I have just started the online class and LOVE it!!!
Thanks, always for all of the "big sis" info. :) You're such a sweetheart Susan!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the rest of us. Very helpful links!
I have that book on order @ the library and will spend some time studying those other links. This is something I need to really work on! Thanks for ALL the helpful info, Susan!
Oh, and your website link at the bottom isn't working for me. Is it me? I really want to have a look around. :)
Wow, very cool progression of "color correction." Sounds like a good name for a new line of make-up or facials. lol
this is something i need help on.
I will look forward to learning more about this as I grow. : ) For now, I am going to just embrace rosy cheeks with pink highlights and hope for the best : )
