You are overexposed, so it is throwing your skin tones off. Bring your brightness down and that should help.

Go halfway from what you just did, and you will be there. I am pulling into LR and checking.

Very cute shot of your son, the teeth make it extra cute.... I like your edit

I'm calibrated. It's bright and the WB is off. To get the best WB you need custom WB with a trusted white target. It works best in RAW. You also need a calibrated monitor or nothing you do will be correct. You need a calibration device. Otherwise every edit you do is a guess.

If her WB is off, how is it off? The second edit is properly exposed and the skin tones are good.

It looks just a tiny bit too green to me.... add like +5 red, -5 Green, -2 blue, lowered brightness a touch, and added just a hair of contrast...
Original #2

Edit

Charlie, the one you have posted as my original #2 looks a lot more "green" than I feel like it does when I initially posted it? lol Anyone else? Am I crazy?

In comparison to the edit, it would! It may have been the first you posted.. But I thought I pulled #2. I will check...

 

[frommrstomommy]

I'm not crazy.. I just brought them up side by side. lol

You are right... it is a little more green. Hmmm... wonder if that happened when I saved to web.... Don't know! Replaced it one that matches you #2

Exact same on my end.. lol still greener, so strange! Must be some technological blablabla that is way over my head when its being reposted.
