Does this look blue to you?

I need some help. I wasn't sure if I should have posted this here or in post processing. Anyway, I recently switched to aRGB for all my shots to increase the color depth. I was working on this one picture from the current set, and two people who I uploaded the pic too said it looked like she was blue on their screen, like she was holding her breath for a long time. On my screen and another computer in the house (both with LCDs) the colors look accurate to everyone here. The two people I sent it too are both using Photoshop CS, but are using CRTs. Not sure if that's it.

Here is the original pic, which I just applied some USM and slight contrast increase in Photoshop CS. Her skin tone is a little pale in this shot, but I don't see much blue:

On this one, I modifed the blue levels a little, which did improve the color tone in her face, but I still don't see any blue in either one:

I see a little blue in the first but not second.

Currently I'm at work on an old 12" notebook LCD...

But to my eyes the second image is dramatically better.. and yes the first image has a blue-ish cast to it that is unpleasnt. It looks a little like what flourescent can do to a image.

Cute kid though :)

Thanks, maybe I'm a little color blind, which would explain why my daughter couldn't see it either since she has my bad eyes. I'll have to look on some machines at work tomorrow and see if it's me or these specific LCDs.

How's this one compared to the other two? I went back to the original RAW (was shooting RAW+L for the first time), and tried custom WB using a paper cup in the background that I cropped out. Other than that I applied USM and that's about it.

I see blue in the first one too.. the last one you just posted looks the most natural to me

Your "RAW" Post Work in the last Pic Looks Natural and Definitely the Best!! Really Highlights the blueish tint in the first two!

Not sure what happened with the first two. Yes, there is a little blue on the first (look at upper lip area). Also, the background colors are slightly different. Number 3 looks much better.

i would agree as well. the last photo looks the most natural. even the second picture still had a bit of blue on it.
