I'm staring at some skin tones on an arm. Light is low and even (living room). Skin tone is caucasion, but tanned. I'm printing on EEM, and there's a ton (relatively) of contrast in this arm/wrist. It's also relatively too bright compared to the monitor. I've futzed with the brightness/contrast sliders quite a bit. They have a good effect on some other parts of the photo - a dark shoe, some jeans, a white radiator and whiter television screen. But the skin's midtones seem to change only slightly, and retain a rather contrasty appearance on the print that's not on the screen. I also futzed with my monitor settings, to see if I could duplicate the contrasty arm/wrist on the print. No go. Even with B0% and C100%, the skin tone retains a relatively tan/dark/smooth low contrast appearance on the screen. So my question. Might I profiftably futz with the CMY sliders to somehow adjust midtone contrast? If so, where might my trials begin? In this photo, the hand is pretty much the subject of the photograph. Thanks! Scott
