All Activity

Right, because you haven't finished the Raw Class yet.

I haven’t had the link to join the levels class yet though.

They sure will.

I have applied to do the levels class. I am trying to get away from automated editing, by that I mean using other people’s action sets, topaz and all the AI stuff that companies are pushing now and attempting to edit for myself so I know what I’m doing to the image. Also I’m hoping it will not fill up my scratch discs as quickly. It’s so difficult to wean myself away from one click fixes that I have used for years, but I’m hoping sheer determination and your classes will help me achieve it.

I'm so glad you'll get to see it in real life. I'm always so nervous about people ordering screens online.

Awesome, thanks so much for looking at it. Some of the monitors are coming in next week, I’ve asked the store to put one on hold so I can take a look. Anything else I should ask or be looking for?

Ah I see ok,

What you're doing wrong is trying to edit photos before you've learned to do so! You've taken the Layers and Masks Class, which is NOT an editing class. It just teaches you the tools. The Levels Class teaches you how to edit.

Hi Damien i have used your B&W action and it looks good however the black trousers have lost detail so I have used a levels layer to bring the detail back and now it looks dull. What am I doing wrong.?

Can you see the little FX button at the bottom of the layers panel?

I got this far, and then wanted to play with the Effects.

I can't find where you added the Effects, Drop Shadow and Stroke. Where did that come from in the menus? I've gotten completely off track trying to figure it out.

Seems good to me. Will you get to see it in person?

Haha absolutely. Agreed. They are 11 and 14 year old boys what could go wrong?

It was the rectangular selection tool. I will go and take another look and check it all again. Sorry

I’ve managed to do it now. I had to download it about 3 times because on the first two when I double clicked it said I didn’t have anything to open it with. Then it went to an .au file then eventually it worked. I have used it and tested it. Thank you

Sorry, I haven't actually looked at your screen, because I got distracted by this comment: You MUST make sure the teens know that your monitor is calibrated for imaging, and if they touch the monitor's settings (brightness, colour, contrast) even a tiny bit, they'll be grounded for a million f&*king years. Agreed?

Shoot, ok good to know, I’ll add it to the list, thank you. Any thoughts on the monitor?

Then you'll probably need to budget for a new calibrator as well. Old calibration technology is increasingly not playing well with modern screen technology.

Hi Damien! Spyder 4.

Hi Jessie, which calibrator do you have?

So you downloaded the .atn file, then you double-clicked on it? And what happened?

I can't remember any mention of selection tools in that article?

The latest version

Can you remind me which version of Photoshop you have?
