Indeed I was surprised, my impression is that the merrill sensor generation is criticized / disliked for rendering skin, that details are exaggerated like in a "contrast" "definition" filter, making the skin look dry and not fluid.

Some ideas been:

-to increase noise reduction in Sigma Photo Pro to maximum

-to use the color mode "Portrait"

-negative fill-light

-some say, always doing filters in post processing and post editing

-correcting colors with a color profile

Don't forget to set Sharpness all the way to the left ("lowest" setting).

There are articles about processing portrait photos from Merrill cameras.
