The standard of editing for diverse skin tones in school group photos is incredibly frustrating.

​Just looking to see if others in the industry notice this. My daughter's school hyped up a new photography company this year, but the group photos are terribly processed. Anyone with a darker complexion is heavily underexposed, to the point where my daughter looks entirely different.

​I know from my own hobbyist work that bringing up the shadows and balancing exposure across a diverse group takes a little more effort, but it's completely doable. What makes it even more painful is having paid through the nose for such sloppy work.

​Why is this still such a widespread issue in professional high-volume photography? (I see the same lighting/grading issues on TV here in the UK, particularly on ITV).
