I have seen this image on 2 monitors/screens.

One of the screens makes the image look yellow / too golden and they other makes the image look tanned . which is what I want does it look reasonable/useable .

This type of stuff is usually pretty subjective but too my eyes, it looks fine on my end.

I'm actually getting a little too much magenta on the right side of the image on my IPS screen.  Every so slightly yellow on my "yellow" monitor, so in real terms, just fine.

Which would be WHY a solid hardware calibration and profiling is essential.

Looks great here on three different calibrated monitors. Even skin tone that looks tan and an abundance of soft freckles.

It is calibrated but 90% of the monitors in the world are not , so I am just checking to see what it looks like on a normal screen or other monitors . As my second monitor isn't working .

ive heard similar responses.  Even if 90% of the worlds monitors are not calibrated, imagine a bell curve where 75% of the worlds monitors are within one standard deviation.  Some will be too cold, some will be too hot, etc.  You still want to hit the maximum number of monitors where it will still look good.  By using a calibrated standard, you will get close to the "middle" of that curve.

It looks tanned to me as well, but with her freckles, it makes me wonder.  Is that tan real or are you asking if you adjusted the skin tone correctly?

The tan is fake thats why I am asking if I have done it correctly . just because on another monitor it came out way too warm and yellow . smile
