From there we will see your Bag, aka "Shopping Cart." Here is what we have chosen: Mac Studio Computer: Mac Studio Display: Magic Keyboard & Magic Mouse: FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $5400, DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. Of course, you will need to adjust this amount based on your local taxes, exchange rates and such. It's only money, right?

I’ve been away but will sort some soon

Come on @Liverbird!

Glad you got it sorted. I kinda figured that’s what you were referring to, but we see so many bad photographs, “BUT IT’S MY ART!!” that I wanted to make sure.

The blown out areas were not intentional. I did a clean install of windows 11 and redownloaded my driver's and everything is working perfectly.

You haven't posted a single raw edit yet!

Am I any closer to getting on the levels class yet?

Opening the image in PS won't trigger Graphics Card Issues, most of the time. While it's true that PS will complain if the card isn't 100% compatible, or the drivers aren't playing nice, you really need to open the image in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) to see if it's a Graphics Card issue. ACR primarily uses the Video GPU and dedicated VRAM for it to really function. It's fancy tools in PS like Content Aware, Lens Correction, Liquify, etc. that utilize the Video GPU. So while it might seem "fine" in PS, you might not be pushing things hard enough. Now what glitch are you talking about? The blown out areas on the photo? Or was that intentional?

Definitely get the softbox if you can. Just make sure you have heaps of time to experiment with it before the real shoot.

what would you recommend?

You have to avoid mixed lighting at all costs. Whatever that takes.

Yes, this was just a quick phone photo just to have an idea of the whole set, with white curtains half closed 😅 I'll also try to borrow a softbox from a friend. that would be way better right?

Well I hope it's a lot better than this. The mixed temperatures of the light is AWFUL.

Natural light. I'm very limited in terms of material, since i'm starting now with studio shoots... I did a photoshoot in this room a while ago and i think it went well (https://www.instagram.com/p/C7uRoQwoWLD/)

You're definitely correct to use the NVIDIA.

What will your lighting setup be for the shoot?

ok, i think i got most of them out! Thanks Damien!

Yes thats correct! My laptop screen, I don't have any external displays. My laptop has the ability to select which Display Mode being used. The Intel(R) UHD Graphics or the NVIDIA GPU

Hi, I built a new PC and something is not right... The picture below is what's going on in Lightroom, but when I open the image in Photoshop it's fine. I also had my screen glitch when I opened bios this morning which led me to believe it might be an issue with my GPU (AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT). Driver's have been updated and I ran a benchmark on the GPU and everything seems in order. PC build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9G3X3w

It's a start. Now get rid of the wrinkles. Every wrinkle in that backdrop will equate to another one on your face, because editing a set like this will age you by ten years.

i managed to increased a bit more (please dont mind the mess) 😅 i know, not ideal but...

MAKE it an option.

aaaaaand if that is not an option right now? 😅 maybe get the big flowers completely inside the backdrop would help?

Bigger backdrop. Seriously. No matter what it costs, it will still be cheaper than the editing nightmare.

Hi Damien! I would like to request your help, if possible I'm going to do photo sessions for mother's day and, attached is my scenario (just a quick phone photo). Is there anything i would need/could do before the shoots to help me in post, with the extension of the backdrop? Thank you so much in advance!
