I was asked to do some photo sessions at a party this weekend.
I tried to take care not to blow out the red channel when I was setting
the exposure, but when I looked at the photos in LR on my mac the reds
seemed somewhat orangey, and the dayglow pink and the dayglow orange had
lost a lot of their "pop" and their saturation.
Was this a case of my misreading the histogram, or the histogram being
based on JPEG and not RAW so it wasn't really showing the red channel
blowing out? In future situations, should I leave more headroom in the
exposure?
Interestingly, on my work PC, the red doesn't seem quite as orangey as
it did at home, but that may be because it's a 600 pixel wide version
rather than a 24" iMac display, different curves or something:

In a related issue, I'd like to get a 23" or so vertical second display
for my iMac for working on images in "portrait" composition. Has anyone
recently gone through the research shopping for one?
