Hans van Eijsden, a fashion and portrait photographer based in the Netherlands, just published a really great article describing how he goes about getting skin tones just right. Most important, he describes how he does so without spending hours manually editing each image.
Yesterday the web lit up with variations on "Adobe to bring Lightroom-style photo editing to tablets". Originally from Scott Kelby's "The Grid", and then picked up by CNET and multiple others. The big deal being the ability to process raw images on the iPad.
