Is there a "none of the above?" They are all too orange.

I just did a quick play around with it in Photoshop, adjusting for #7. I started by picking the white balance based on the blackish horizontal bars in the background and then tweak the red and blue curves. It is not perfect, but at least she does not look like she is working for Willy Wonka.

Quick adjustment with curves for #7

Below are the adjustment curves. Note a pretty severe difference in red.

That is why it's impossible to do a skin_tune on our computer.

Original photo may be reddish/yellowish (warm) to you,and yours are blue-ish/greenish (cold) to others.

Ours eyes are born of super sensitive to young woman /man skin tone for natural reason.

If the raw is green-ish or yellow- ish, basically means some of the color is missing and some of the color is extra (artificial).

Surprisely this wrong coloring is fixed by hardware (Sensor) and in fact there is no way to fine-tune or repair it. It's becaus nobody knows which color is missing and which color is extra. Otherwise the manufacturer can do it perfectly with the camera internal image processing.

We, common users, can not do the job that manufacturer cannot do. we don't have perfect monitor, and color science knowledge.
