As a matter of fact, skin detection is seldom accurate since the early versions. I believe the problem lies in the algorithm used and the lighting and skin tone/colour affect the accuracy. I found that it is quite acceptable for me for all shots taken in the studio where lighting was even. Once I introduce shadow, the detection will not be accurate.

Perhaps, PP should introduce a "Preferences" setting so that we can all select which option is active when we fire up PP.

williamting, I'm not seeing any improvement to skin detection with v 11.1.9. On evenly lighted and toned skin, detection is still blatantly incomplete and spotty. The skin detection on faces that are not selected is aggravating and counter productive.

I agree that automatic detection should be optional, as it requires more work to correct it than to select it manually.
