Lisa Manchester Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi Damien! I just read over your information concerning cmyk numbers for skin and wanted to make sure I was understanding that I should not be overly concerned about the cyan number being 1/3 of Yellow, but to make sure that yellow is 3-5% higher than magenta. For example, I have an image that I just checked and the numbers in the midtones are: c-7 m-39 y-44 k-0. The image looks good to me, but before I ignore the cyan being kind of "low" and run with this, I wanted to ask just to be sure. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Posting the image here would probably be helpful. I'm assuming this is the article you're referencing? http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_skin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Manchester Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sorry. I originally didn't post the image because I wasn't really needing help with the image. Just needed reassurance that the cyan number isn't as important as I once thought it was. Yes, the article you posted is the one I read. Thanks! Here is the image.

Lisa Manchester Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 I think the skin tones look good. The numbers make me think there might be too much red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
