I am preparing a few undertone photos and want to avoid misleading results. Auto processing makes two photos taken minutes apart look surprisingly different. My first safeguard is a shaded window with no harsh sunlight on my face. I intend to leave off filters, flash, portrait mode, and beauty adjustments. A small grey reference seems more dependable than judging one image in isolation. I would rather collect two comparable sessions than chase a quick answer. A simple skin undertone test camera might make it easier to repeat the same conditions next time. I understand that screen calibration and seasonal light still limit this kind of exercise. Looking at matched photos together should reveal whether the change is actually consistent. Have you found a reliable setting that reduces dramatic colour shifts? Simple safeguards are more useful to me than buying a complicated kit. I will use the same setup again before I compare the images with anyone else. I am grateful for straightforward advice that avoids overpromising.
