Skin Tones - Does she look right?

[monique_evette]

I have to print a 16-20 and I don't know if I am going cross eyed or what, but the more and more I look at this picture her skin start looking way off. Is she too yellow? Orange? Red?

i think it's a little on the orange side...not much, but just a hair...

i agree, but it doesn't look bad. it seems like my lab prints everything a little warm anyway.

aren't you gonna have to chop her hand off in a 16x20?

might be for the better.....well, from here, it looks like one of her fingers is missing a tip.

the only real answer is ...how does it print ?

Looks a little warm, but it's not bad. I tend to like warm portraits anyway. Getting her whole hand in there would be nice if possible though.

she could crop from the top a little and go in the middle to not lose much of the hand.

Well I ordered, and yeah the entire hand is gone. I had to crop it above the elbow. The missing tip actually really didn't bother me. Although with everything being so last minute with this bride ( she was suppose to order a week ago) I didn't even think to tell her that it was going to be cropped that much (oops).

Either way, thanks for the input. I was so tired of looking at it and playing around with her skin tone. I always have trouble with Hispanics.

Cropped above the elbow shouldn't be too bad, right?

It looks great to me - this monitor is uncalibrated though, so I have no idea what I'm actually seeing (the usual caveat).

I wish I could see her whole hand, but cropping just above the elbow would be a good option.
