Hey guys,
I have had issues with Huey and I just don't trust it. I know I need to get an Eye One, but in the meantime Smugmug AutoColor and CMYK values have been producing good results on Lustre. But, I need to order this print in 10x20 on Kodak Endura Professional Metallic (thru WHCC), and I wondered if the skin tones looked ok in my edited file. She was initially very pale, and he very red. Thanks in advance guys!

    While I'm not on my hardware-calibrated monitor (current one is eyeballed with a target to test against, so I pretty good). Anyway the skin tones look good to me.

    If anything, a touch too yellow, but that is probably me being over critical!!

    that's helpful, as i've found metallic renders slightly more yellow and orange than other papers. don't want to overdo it! (or reprint lol!) THANKS!

    Looks like you have this pose figured out!

    So, spill the beans, how did the print look when it arrived?
