The power of color adjustments

A few days after I released Cock Hero Boss FIGHT, I decided to mess around with cyberlink colordirector, and was blown away by the results:
The "before" is on the left half, the "after" is on the right.
Wished I would have used it prior to release.

Dare I say it the before looks better. It is more natural lighting. The after looks too 'shiny' and slightly orangey.

Oh I'm ok with the right side, because there are tits and a hot chick's face, whereas all you get on the left side is a hint of pink and a few knees. :)
No, seriously, I personally prefer the "manufactured shiny" look on the right, I think. Might not in heavy doses, but there's a certain hotness to images that are "candy clean." So to speak.

If your monitor is not calibrated properly, none of it will make a whit of difference. And no matter what you do, you can't ensure that all of your potential audience have
their monitors calibrated.
As a professional designer who regularly does photo image correction for print, I keep my monitor very well calibrated for color. But no matter what I do, I cannot stop a client from saying, "All your images look too dark, or too light." When it's feasible, I ask them to check their calibration. When it is not feasible, I suggest that they trust my experience. (And for the record, ease of color calibration and the ability for a monitor to hold calibration, is
another area where Apple has considerable superiority over a PC-based machine.)
Brewster, from the screen shot you supplied, I think the original image was a little too blue and dim. I think your corrections here for color were good, but you may have overdone it on the contrast.
To you, Book Guy, while I definitely prefer to see a model's face, the feature I admire most about this model is her abdomen. It looks delicious.

To each their own, I suppose.

Brewster, if you felt like it you could always re-release it. I'd download it again. If not, at least you know about that feature for any future releases. :)

Like I said, "candy clean" ... and delicious candy too.
