Hi, I entered this shot of my sons, but then I was reading about monitor calibration and I ended up tweaking my monitor quite a bit. So I opened the photo in PS and thought it looked pretty red and a bit light. I made changes, so here they both are.

Which looks better on your monitor?

I'm pretty much lost with all of this color stuff, so I appreciate your help.

I like the original.

Then again, it just kills me sometimes to take nice rosy cheeks and turn them yellow.

I won't argue.

But I will say that I like the second one better, the first is too magenta.

Also, this would be a great opportunity to color by numbers as Baldy suggests. (http://www.smugmug.com/help/skin-tone)
