Here are a few of shots with many more to come with my last couple. Everyone in the family has very different skin tones and toss in a sunburn to boot. Anyway, I'm working with smugmugs new Kodak color profiles in CS3 and using the soft proof option to color correct my images. I have two questions. First, Soft proofing does not embed a color profile does it and if not can I save out with the appropriate ICC profiles that are nessisary for Smugmug printing. And next is the browser. When viewing my images on smugmugs browser the images look "hot" in areas and also the reds seem to be pushed to the limits. So how do they look on your screen and will they print how the world see's them or the adjustments I make with the "soft-proofing" option. Thanks for all your help.
I don't know the answer to the color profiling and soft proof but the images look light on my monitor. Calibrated with huey. But my experience is that when printing they always look darker so my guess is that they will come out about right when printing. I would try one before printing them all. Walmart will let you print for fast and cheap for 1 to test. Thats what I do.
I like 13 best but they are all really nice.
13 looked best for closest between face colors but I also liked that they are all looking in the same direction and all happy smiles.
Good job on pictures. Black and white really helps to reduce the skin color differences but I am sure that you client does not want all b/w. The pictures would be worth fixing up in photoshop to reduce his sunburn.
The other one i really liked was 6 but the sunburn was very apparent. You might desaturate a layer then brush in his face. I tried to down load to try but it was protected.
I don't know about others, but when I click on your link I get the main home page for smug mug.
You might get better feedback if you place a few sample images in your post.
