Trouble with resin prints

So I’ve been making small tabletop figures with my SLA printer. It was going great at first but now I’m having some problems. My clear resin turns yellow after I cure it and I don’t know if it’s because of the light or the resin itself?? The supports are messing up the tiny details on my prints and I'm not sure of the right slicer settings to fix it. I also tried cleaning with alcohol instead of waterbut my prints broke after curing. I really want my little dragons to look perfect but I need help to fix these issues. Thanks in advance!
 
Been there. Clear resin will always amber a bit over time, but you can slow it down by using a resin labeled “non-yellowing” and curing under lower-intensity LEDs. For supports, shrink the contact points in your slicer, smaller tips pop off clean without wrecking the scales or tiny claws.
 
Your prints snapping after curing means they were over-dried or cured unevenly. Alcohol pulls moisture fast. Try a quick rinse, then air dry before curing. Also lower your bottom layer exposure leave them too long and the supports fuse into your model and kill the tiny details.
