Sorry for my bad english using google translate.

I found a really nice skin! Her skin is the best I've ever seen!

But I don't understand why her feet are black, almost not the same color as the head, like the legs are roasted, I want to change his legs to be whiter.

But if I change the leg texture directly in Photoshop, it results in a body color mismatch (inconsistent seams), how can I change the overall skin tone? (leg and torso seams)

It's like exporting all the skins as a single image and then processing them in Photoshop.

    You must use software like Adobe Painter or Mari to edit the model (with all textures).
    Look for trial versions.. you will be able to do it following some tutorials.

    Her feet look perfectly normal in the promo pictures. You really should not need to alter the textures to get a correct result.

    Can you show an example of your problem (just her legs and feet from the knee down), or if you need to show the whole body to see the problem then please show her wearing clothes (a swimsuit or bikini will do) to avoid posting nudity here. And is the problem just in the viewport or in a full render?

    Edit to Add: Also please tell us which version of Daz Studio you are using.

    Hi MelanieL :)
    Thanks Reply!

    Using DAZ3D version 4.15

    I checked her textures, darkened from the hips, added pictures in the attachment.

    the first with default lighting and Dome Rotation set to 100 (front).
    the second with a light placed directly in front of her.

    I did some comparisons on her torso and legs.

    I see a lady wich uses to wear short skirts, and that's why her legs are tanned...

    Try this method using Photoshop:

    1-Open the legs diffuse map in PS

    2-Duplicate the base layer

    3-Make the top layer the color you want, it will hide the "dark skin" layer

    4-Make a selection od the top of the legs, near the seam limit

    5-Modify the selection to make it progressive

    6 delete the progressive selection, the top of the "dark" layer will appear. delete a second time to make sure you deleted completely the seam limit area.

    7-Save as a Jpg

    8-Apply your new map

    Sorry, my Photoshop is in French, here are some images of the workflow I'm suggesting:

    legs_00_wip.jpg
    1920 x 1080 - 143K
    legs_01_wip.jpg
    1920 x 1080 - 153K
    legs_02_wip.jpg
    1920 x 1080 - 160K
    legs_03_wip.jpg
    1920 x 1080 - 140K
    legs_04_wip.jpg
    1920 x 1080 - 192K
    legs_05_wip.jpg
    1920 x 1080 - 220K
