    Editing photos with either very dark or very red faces - the rest of the photo is fine

      I posted this once but can't find it so obviously posted in the wrong place.   I would like to know an easy way of lightening just the face of a person in a photo - the background is fine.  I would also like to be able to change the colour of some faces - e.g. for some reason, one person in a group has a very red face.  - I've tried auto colour correct and adjust colour for skin tones (this one for some reason will turn the entire photo a strange shade of orange, yellow, blue or green!!  I am using PSE 13 on a Macbook Pro.

       

      I would also like to know how to remove the shine from individual faces.

       

      a word of explanation - I am working with about 1600 photos I had scanned in from my photo albums (going back to the 70s) - for the most part, the scanning was pretty good but there are several instances when I've had the above issues.
