I had to rebuild my system and recalibrate monitor.

Can someone please check if the WB on this photo looks OK. It was taken in an peach painted room so I may not have hit the perfect skin colors, but I don't see them as being totally off - do you ?

Also, any suggestions on how I add "punch" to this photo, i.e. make it a bit lighter / crispier, without ruining skin tones / making skin appear shiny.

Looks really good on my end.If you wanted it to stand out more you could use a adjustment brush for the back ground and turn down the exp

I use the tone curb to give an image some punch.

The faces look good with regard to WB. It looks like you've got some mixed lighting going on when you look at the ladies left hand.

Thanks.

Yes there's some crazy lighting involved, the flash bounced off the ceiling, the lights from the side, the brightly colored walls.

I tried bumping curves but it makes her face look shiny.

I was mainly trying to validate my calibration, though. Looks like it worked.

I find the OP just a touch cool and also a bit green. This might be going a bit overboard in the opposite direction, but

There does appear to be mixed light on scene, falling locally...cooler light on hands, for example.

On my monitor I showed the whites of the ladies eyes to be be R111, G150, B165. The white board in the background looked very blue. I adjusted this end of the histogram and some adjustment for the ladies face and came up with a much warmer photo. It may be too warm for some but I think it illustrates the difference. For my taste the original was too cool.

Last is too warm, but a lot "friendlier" then the first, which is probably closer to neutral, yet (a bit) too cold IMO.
