The new Army uniform
One of the first things you learn when printing color neg and it carries through to digital is never adjust or judge color until you get density correct. You can clearly see that smaller beret or the one from #1 is not the same density as the larger one or #2. # 1 is darker.
And I wanted to add, when doing portraits, in my opinion and in many other portrait photographers share this opinion, skin tone is probably the most important thing when it comes to color and when talking skin tone a touch warmer is usually desired. And you can tell the portrait of the black soldier is a bit hotter exposure wise, than the portrait of the caucasian soldier, is to keep the dark tones from blocking up. We used to say open up a half stop at least for black skin tones.
