I'm having difficulty finding a tutorial regarding "skin tone" adjustments for African-Americans, aside from the Chris Orwig's numbers methods.
Any links from you fine people... ???

Here's a video on correcting skin tones without having to resort to CMYK:

A little tip for those of you that have Xrite calibration/profiling products and use i1profiler:
i1profiler uses a low-rez set of those roman16 images as part of its profile display/verification and you can access those images directly within the i1profiler program folder. On Windows, for example, they can be found in Program Files(x86)/X-Rite/i1Profiler/preview-images.
As I said, they are low-rez and don't include the technical details/numeric info that the full reference docs would include but they are still great references for experimenting and comparison-use for skin tones.

On Windows, for example, they can be found in Program Files(x86)/X-Rite/i1Profiler/preview-images.
On Mac, they are found: HFS Path: Macintosh HD:Applications:i1Profiler:i1Profiler.app:Contents:Resources:preview-images
But they are tiny, 8-bit per color and in a pretty large color space (eciRGB). Still somewhat useful.
