Week 3 Example 4 Skin Tones are not just for people

My monkey. I did it in Lab.

In this version I first used RGB to remove the colour cast. did a CM rerun with CMYK. The fur texture on the hands seems a bit blown out and not as defined. I am not sure how to do it properly in CMYK.

The LAB is well done..the only thing I might do is increase the contrast on the shadow end of the curve.. The highlights and skin tones look great...

The CMYK version...hmhhh...Where to go...Some things to remember...Fur is almost never yellow/green  It should be on the red side of yellow.  Use the skin Pin in CMYK once and see if you can get closer.  Start by setting a solid neutral and then trying the skin Pin...
