[Avid-L2] Skin detail for 60+

 

We're editing a show with a 60+ "star", who simply asks us to show her at her best, authentic but not unflattering. Unfailingly, the DP puts a Schneider warm classic soft 2 or a Tiffen equivalent on the lens, and we get a "Barbara Walters" exaggerated soft effect -- which is compounded when we cut to the guest who Doesn't have a filter. Beyond asking that both cameras have the same filter, and without doing a 'skin detail setting' adjustment in camera, any suggestions for treating aging skin tones with tender loving (soft) care, without over-softening the background? Has anyone used the Sapphire Skin Soft or Soft Focus plug-in with success? Thanks much,
