If you are using Lightroom it may be an idea to go into LR prior to processing in SilverEfex and lightening the fcae, r working on the face with the adjustment brush BEFORE you go to SilverEfex. I often work with the adjustment brush either before or after the SilverEfex conversion as I find otherwise it can be a bit harsh in some areas. Just an idea.
