I may have made a big mistake. I was working on a model and I used Headshot to create an original face. Later I didn't like the face so I took an avatar preset and combined it with that Headshot face and got a MUCH better looking face...HOWEVER the color of the body and the color of the head are slightly off. Worse, I didn't save my color presets for the body and CC3 always resets the colors back to 0. Here's what Zak looks like:

I can fix the eyelid issue, but you can clearly see the color difference. Is there a quick fix to this?

Thanks.

Do you want the head to match the color of the body, or the body to match the color of the head?
What I do when this happens is to go to diffuse and try to match the colors for each body part until I am satisfied.

I want the head to match the color of the rest of the body. I know this can be an issue with headshot and I am KICKING myself for not saving those color settings. I may have to go to diffuse and just try to match the head - which might take a long time.

Did you save your project a few times before changing your mind?
I always save my project at least once or twice, just in case CC3 or iClone crashes.

I did save it.  Here's what it looked like before:

Here's what it looked like after I put an existing avatar preset over top of it:

And you can clearly see how CC3 separated the colors of the head/neck from the rest of the body - because before everything matched. I actually think this is a bug in CC3 that has nothing to do with Headshot at all. I created a model a little while ago using the Herculean morph ONLY. No Headshot. All I did was move the morph sliders. And this is what I got:

It's a bit harder to see because the model has darker skin, but there's color separation between the head/neck and the body. And it's REALLY apparent when you see this model from behind because he has giant lats and traps. This has to be a software glitch. Fortunately it doesn't happen all of the time. Below is a render of a model where I DID use Headshot as well as the morph sliders and it came out terrific (better than I thought it would actually):

Anyway, I'm not complaining. I think the best way to get CLOSE to fixing it is to go to the Modify tab and select the 'Head' under Material Name and go to the Blend Map tab and expand it and work in there.

That's what's worked best for me so far.

Did u want a more tan like texture? 

There are a lot of options if u click on the diffuse map , right click and adjust color.
