Hi there !

I try fix it. In photoshop i use "Select a color from the source", and take body color to hands color.

 

btw. i lose quality: original .dds -  2049kb, my - 683kb. i use PNG . how to keep quality ?

 

but it seems that the problem is not in color, but in the peculiarities of texture

What you are looking at might be the result of different speculars on the hand and the body. Tweaking the color won't help you here as it looks like that the specular map is different between 'em. So look at femalehands_1_s.dds as well as femalebody_1_s.dds.

 

The map for the body is very grainy with an overall lower value whereas the hands are not grainy and apply a stronger specular strength overall. (the near black vs. dark grey background colors hint you at that)

That is where you'll want to work on. Maybe try to get some sort of progression done in the seam-area.

 

In the original hand specular map (femalehands_1_s) that ships with the game, the values are ok and should match up with the body, however the file you get as part of the mod has overall brighter values (no idea WHY, looks like the modder changed them), so lowering them back down might somewhat weaken that problem for you.
