Are you using high contrast for the edits?
3nodding I like contrast just in general, but I dont play with the contrast settings after I've finished an edit. I just shade as I go.
Sometimes though I think my moniter is a tad off and I'm seeing colors different from other people, but everyone still seems happy with them just the same, so maybe they arent too off
sweatdrop I just match the shading and coloring of the source picture usually. I'll provide the picture the customer gave me for this last edit and maybe that will answer your question.
