However, this requires that your models have perfect skin - young female models with makeup or children with clear skin.

Any imperfections, marks, freckles etc will show up with unforgiving detail..

Also with the Merrill it is absolutely crucial to get the colour right. For example, for my DP2M starting with daylight white balance I need to dial in -2G Green (= +2M Magenta) to correct for the inherent slight green cast and then -4Y Yellow (i.e. +4M+4C) to remove the yellow cast. So in total +6M+4C adjustments. That is my current default with daylight WB and that gives a normal looking skin tone - not too yellow and not too red. On top of that I dial down sharpness to -1 and chroma noise reduction to the lowest level.

sorry for sounding rude but I am so tired of the critics in here and now it goes over you.

any examples there you mind sharing??

or are you just another one with no legs telling how to run?
