Issues with Face Transfer 2 Head Morphing

I went ahead and made the plunge and unlocked FT2, because I was impressed by the vastly improved resolution of the images; yet two issues remain... one, the skin tone is generic and much darker than many of the fair-skinned models I have tested it on. Moreover, the head shaping morphs are entirely lacking, they remain default with the heavy wide jaw which makes the characters look overweight and loutish.... while the facial features and eyes are amazingly clear and accurate, the skin and head shape remain non-binary and eerily creepy with G9's default uniform heavy rounded jaw. Why this is an issue is that G9 does not have intricate controls over shaping the jaw angle, corner width, and chin morphs as Genesis 8 has that could correct this issue. Non binary characters do not highligh the specific features that define gender, and the result is that all the characters I've converted so far just don't look real. Is there any way to resolve this?

    Secondarily, it's too late to add the fine-tuning head morphs of Genesis 8 into Genesis 9, you've sadly burned your bridges and created an inferior new character that is clearly meant for gamers, not photorealistic CGI art. The fact that G9 is an entirely new species that is not backward compatible with earlier Genesis figures (I get it, you gotta sell new assets instead of users simply reusing their existing content). But,  is there a way to transfer the improved clarity and accuracy of the facial figures (aside from the jaw issue, but then again, that could be corrected) back into Face Transfer I? One feature of FT2 I especially love is how FT2 doesn't tranfer hair as dark reddish patches, it's a challenge to find images of a neutral expression, non-shadowed figure with the hair pulled back from their face. I want to use FT2 but not on Genesis 9 figures. It gets a D- grade as far as realism goes on G9... Below is Vanessa Hudgens from the High School Musicals (click thumbnail to enlarge details). Her FT1 skin tone is yellowish from the source pic and you can see the lack of detail in the facial features, but the FT2 figure looks better as far as the facial features go, but there is no way to adjust her head to the G8 figure next to her, notedly her pointed jaw and cleft chin. Because she is a Latina, I'll give passing grade on the skin tone on the G9 figure. But all my FT2 characters have that same skin tone.
