Hmm, the faces look orangeish now, better they look a little red (rosey cheeks and such) than looking orange/burnt. That's always the problem with trying to boost the colors in the rest of the scene, the faces get dragged along for the ride, and even if you drop the reds back to help compensate, the other colors still flood the faces.
That's why darkjedi went easy on the saturation in the Blu-ray V1 color correction, to spare the faces from being made red or orangeish dark in appearance, even if that meant the other things in the scene wouldn't be as saturated as would otherwise be perhaps desirable.
That's why separate correction for the faces would be nice, maybe desaturate the reds in the faces in some scenes even to get rid of the reddish tint. But in the absence of that, it's best to lean towards the side of backing off on the overall saturation correction of a scene. Because when faces are red/orange/burnt looking, it's far more noticeable than if the other things in the scene maybe aren't saturated as well as might be liked. It can be a tough balancing act, but keeping the faces natural and fair looking is the most important thing, as that distracts the most when they don't look right.
schorman13: Now that you mention it, the shirt does seem awfully yellow, and I'm pretty certain it should be a light cream color.
