If you've calibrated your monitor with that colorimeter, then it is accurately showing the image (assuming no error setting the desired 6500K). On mine it is warm and exactly as you describe. Clearly the light was very contrasty. On your image as shown the highlights and black are clipped, but they are neutral or very nearly so. Using a couple of points as a mid grey, I don't see any reddish cast there either. You can open up the mid tones some, as you no doubt know. Assuming this is a digital image original, the highlights are gone, but it's the nature of the shadowed subject in that light, I think. I sure wouldn't change a pixel!

It's a very frustrating experience with no reference except my former settings. She looks too dark and too red, based on my former settings. Is that my imagination? Should I go back to the original settings - if I can find them? Sorry, the link would help wouldn't it: http://www.pbase.com/image/71712076 Thanks, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
