I did drop the ball. My apologies.

Seems rather counterintuitive to say Fuji has dropped the ball on jpeg when you’ve gone and modified the standard jpeg settings. Perhaps you’ve dropped the ball?

A +3 shadow setting will darken the shadows creating a harsher appearance to the image. For portraits, Fuji recommends pro neg high for outdoors and pro neg standard for indoors.

That +3 shadow tone setting alone was the reason for such unpleasant looking skin tones.  I didn't reshoot the same subjects because is not possible but I tris it on my kids in Provia Standard with shadow tone +3 and at -2 and the difference is humongous.

I would like to ask the MOD to please change the tittle because it was my own user error since I had no idea that shadow tone setting had such impact on the photo output.

Again, my bad and I apologize if the tittle offended you.

Try following Fuji’s advice and see if the image is still not to your liking. I’d also humbly suggest taking into consideration titles for your future posts. Imagine being a colour engineer at Fujifilm and seeing your headline.
