If anyone out there would be kind enough to be willing to give it a shot, it would be tremendously appreciated, but if not, then I'm still very thankful/grateful already anyway for the efforts.

There's something about the skin tone that isn't
right there. It almost looks like in addition to
running a colorize, they may have touched up the
odd spot. It's always possible for a commercial
filter to have a multitude of approaches in the
one filter (like maybe a Photoshop filter) and
end up with such a result.

I don't know anything about layers and paths in
photo editors, so I don't think I can modify the
image to any satisfactory result. You can kinda
bucket fill patches of the image, but that doesn't
look absolutely the best either.

You really have to follow the tool tutorials, to
operate the tool properly for the job you have
in mind.

My level of skill with photo editors is "crop n' scale"
and that's about it. I couldn't color correct something
if my life depended on it.
