I saved various posts on a similar problem . I have inserted a copy of the posts below hopefully all the "postees" are noted .Hope this helps
making skin tones lighter
Thanks. This works quite well. The edges are better though still somewhat noticeable. This is especially true of the forehead where there are strands of hair with skin showing through in between. Any suggestions? Thanks again

1. Ctrl-click the red channel
2. Ctrl + J (this copies the selection of the red channel on a new layer)
3. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels:group with previous. Adjust the middle arrow, look only at the skin part, make it a bit too light, and don’t worry about the other parts of the picture.
4. Fill the layer mask with black to mask everything (your picture will look like nothing has been done to it)
5. Paint with a white brush over the skin (to reveal the white)
6. Play with the transparency slider to adjust the intensity of the
color.

I need to change a dark skinned woman’s skin tone to make her look light skinned (dont ask why..). How do I do this without brightening the whole picture? I tried selecting only the skin areas but the boundary between
skin
and hair etc looks unnatural. I tried playing with the curves so as to
only
lighten the skin tones but it didnt look good.
I have photoshop 7.
Thanks
Mark
