Hello:

Make a long story short.........should have left my monitor the way it was but I was convinced by a friend to recalibrate my 19"CRT; now the flesh-tones don't 'look' right.......could be me, maybe I was so used to how the shots looked before my'changes. Needless to say, I didn't save the profile (duh!!) so if you could tell me if the skin on my daughter Julia looks 'right'.......meaning she really is human and not from another planet (ie. green, blue, red etc!):D

Wow, those emerald eyes are beautiful. Very nice shots! The skin tones look fine on the school's monitor, though I highly doubt the school monitor is calibrated properly. Everything has a tint of green here, lol.

Your little girl looks perfect, the skin tones are exactly how i'd expect a baby to look.

top marks, maybe your monitor has always been out until the recal!

I know CDS has a calibrated monitor and I calibrated mine 2 days ago with ColorPlus ... the skin tones look correct to me ... and they are wonderful pix of your daughter.

Thanks for all the replies and the comments! I find that there is a 'greenish' hue to the skin; not frightfully bad but there.........I think that maybe this monitor is ready to be replaced. Thanks again for verifying the skin-tone on the photos!

Okay I'm surprised nobody told me I was wrong. I'm at home with my laptop's LCD and her eyes aren't green anymore. Still very pretty big eyes though! Nice shot none the less..

Sorry Kev........didn't want you to feel like you were spending too much time in front of those 'green' school monitors! Thanks for the comments!:)
