I'm exporting as ProPhoto RGB and 16bit Tiff and I think that it is the colorspace that is giving the issue. The problem is when it saves the file. It looks great in PP, but if you look at it after you save it, it changes the skin color.
There we go. Use sRGB. Portrait professional apparently can't save ProPhoto RGB. It can read it, but not save it as such.
This exactly describes the problem that I am having. I am using PP Studio 64 11.3.4 / ZRaw 1.3 as a Photoshop CC plug-in on Windows 8 Version 6.2.9200, and am working in 16-bit ProPhoto RGB colour space. I believe that you're right, that the problem occurs when PP saves to ProPhoto RGB, since all looks good while in the PP editor. According to the feature list, Studio and Studio 64 are supposed to support "conversion between different color spaces". I choose to work in ProPhoto colour space for a reason, so narrowing down to sRGB before working in PP is not an acceptable workaround for me.
Can someone from Anthropics please comment on this issue?
Thanks,

(By the way, my workaround for now is to mask out only the skin colour changes that PP makes. To do that, when I return from the plug-in to Photoshop, I duplicate the layer made by PP, with my original version underneath this pair. I set the blend mode of bottom of the pair of PP layers to Luminosity, and set the top layer's blend mode to Colour. To quickly mask out the just skin colour changes, working in the top layer, I use Photoshop's Select Colour Range feature, then select Skin Tones with Detect Faces, and then adjust Fuzziness as needed. I use the selection to create a layer mask. I like the skin colour corrections that I am able to achieve with PP, so I would much rather that they be rendered properly in 16-bit ProPhoto colour space so that I could use them.)
