Take it from someone that has experience with this, getting black skin right
without screwing up everything else is a nightmare.

Thanks Bob, I have tried different settings, a lighter adjustment was ok for
de-LCE but I found the stronger setting gives a dreaming look that I like.

Hum. I like your version, CH. There’s a softness and tonality that is a
little bit surreal. Well rendered!

To me, some of your image look flat was due to too much LCE, every

in the picture look sharp and sometimes just too sharp. More unpleasant is
LCE on the slightly out of focus elements. And then there are too much
shadows/highlights recovery. Both tools flatten the image so they must be
used smartly.
There is a version I tried, the effect is a bit strong, not for the one
looking for super sharp images.

I used curve to reduce shadow and a gaussian blur layer to reduce the LCE.
Of course, it is not necessary when working with the out of camera image.
