Attached is a Tutorial on Editing Skin Tones in Affinity Photo. The original document was created in Affinity Publisher and exported to PDF.

The emphasis is on getting accurate, natural looking skin tones, assisted by the numbers...Vectorscope, HSL and CMYK samplers in the Info Panel... to help the user stay on track and defeat "eye adaptation". Our eyes acclimate to our monitor, and the longer we stare at our monitors, the "better" our colors appear (even if they are way off). 

I hope you find the tutorial clear and helpful.

Thanks for the PDF, I translated it via Word (can I print it).  That one uses A4, this one was definitely made in a different size.

Good morning, @Ldina. I have only read through your document once, and definitely need to give it more time. But I can already tell you that it is a wonderful guide. It is concise and well-written, practical, and easily understandable. What more could you ask for?

Thank you for creating this, and for posting it for distribution.
