* Make sure your focus is superb. No matter how precious your darlings are, a slightly fuzzy photo ruins everything. * Print several proofs of your chosen photo, always going for Healthy skin tones. * Once you've selected the photo you want to use, be picky with your photo printer. If you have a print that has just the lightness and color you want, leave it with your photo processor to match it as best they can. * If you have a photo you like in style, focus, etc., but the colors look off, take it to them and ask for a range of copies to be made with varying color settings... more blue, less yellow etc. Have them write the settings on the back of each test copy, so they can duplicate the one you like.
