Second attempt at calibrating- need help

[nlr7]

I have had to move my desktop to a different room at home. I edit during the day and I should say this space has an ample amount of sunlight streaming in with pale yellow curtains. Should I change to darker heavier window coverings and update the lighting to something around 4000-4200k as Damien mentions?

I'd like to start out right. My previous attempt at calibrating led to prints that were too yellow. I will be calibrating with an Xrite, using a relatively new Dell monitor.

Well, your yellow curtains certainly sound worrying.  Maybe at first just open them, and compare your prints in the daylight?

The prints definitely have skin look more yellower. I've checked both with the curtains closed as well as opened up. Also, whites in my B/W prints look blown out.

Interesting.  Can you post one of each photo?  (Colour with skin, and a black-and-white)
