I'm having a difficult time with color, particularly flesh tones. My EOD 5D loves to throw lots of red and magenta into fleshtones which is difficult enough to deal with, but what affect is my retouching environment playing on the process? My office has no windows (but if I keep a door open there is some north light from a window behind me which I usually close off with a blind). The walls are that house-builder cream/off-white. The lighting (when not off) is a flourescent fixture overhead. What should I be doing for my enviornmental settings to make color work easier? What standards should I calibrate my monitor (I have an HP2465 24" LCD hooked up via DVI and an OPTIX XR Pro w/software)? I've tried print calibration (120cd/m2) as well as full monitor gamut (monitor native white point). Any tips would be appreciated. And if anyone knows what to do with the 5D skintones (besides chucking it) please let me know. Wayne
