It will almost certainly look more natural. Not trying to be a smart-aleck but if you have a great shot of a group and with the mean red face problem, there is always black and white, or sepia, etc…

It's an adjustment you can make, and boy does it have options. Instead of just tweaking RGB for highlights, mids, and shadows, you can tweak the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black for the colors Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta, White, Neutral, and Black. Yowzer! I dunno, maybe you already know about this. But all I've done is made actions for the various, and numerous, different types of man-made lighting. Most handy to me seem to be going into Yellow and turning down the Yellow, that helps reign in artificial stage light if you just can't nail it with your WB. But of course, the possibilities are endless! ...Us poor pink-skinned people. I need a tan... -Matt- In Photoshop, the key is “selective” color.
