Skin Tone

[jayinhouston]

I wanted to know if this skin tone looks correct to you.


I will admit to you that I am color blind.... (not a joke)

So, I recently purchased a colorchecker chart and wanted to see if I was able to set my colors correctly using the readings in photoshop.

I am using sRGB colorspace for my editing.

Thanks all

I can't answer that personally, because I don't know the person concerned.

Some other points to bear in mind in my opinion:

It is not possible to judge skin tone by the numbers (as some articles recommend); we are all different.

'Correct' skins tones on the monitor may not produce 'correct' skin tones on the printer, and in either case 'correct' does not equal 'pleasing'.

To me it looks a little green-yellow, but it could be the lighting? Hard to tell without knowing the person.

why not use the adobe 1998 color space? the web will squash it back to the srgb, but your printer handles a lot more. http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/color_spaces.htm

are you using CS2?

are you manually adjusting the color balance? i do all my color correction by the numbers. threshold, levels, curves, and saturation, in that order. my printer loves it.

have you d/led the icc profiles for your printer/paper combo?

are you targeting the printer/paper combo when you output?

Even without the plugin, an interesting link : http://www.imagenomic.com/expertflowvgpt1.aspx

Use a search motor with the keywords "digital darkroom" or "computer darkroom"
