I use PSP 8.0 and have some issues having pleasing skin tones printed by a
outside lab after I have completed my PSP processing. The service I use is
Smugmug. While reading thought heir help menu I came across a method to
assure skin tones will print fine regardless what my monitor setting are at.
I am attaching the link to the directions right here...
http://www.smugmug.com/help/skin-tone

My question is...This direction detail the process using PhotoShop. Does PSP
have the same capability? (Measure Magenta %, Cyan % by selecting specific
areas within an image?).

Thanks for the help

The only time you need to "measure" anything, is with shadow tones and
highlights. You need a decent eye to determine the rest. Here's examples:

Blows your mind, doesn't it?

My impression is that they are aiming to make a pleasing skin tone, not an accurate representation. And its for white folks.
