Don't worry, most people for whom English IS their first language would make the same error.

Ha! Learn something new every day! Thanks for that Damien ☺️ You have probably guessed it by now, but English is not my first (actually it's my 4th but the one I speak the most these days) language, so I always seek to improve my grammar and vocabulary. Although my grammar sucks a bit, as at times I no longer know which way is right and which one is wrong, as it's all muddled up in my head 🤪

By the way, here's your nerdy trivia for the day ... the word is "piqued".

Good question! I actually have no idea why!! Maybe because I am not that proficient in Photoshop and I'd really like to be. To be as comfortable in Photoshop as I am in Excel. Thank you! I've seen you do this but have never attempted it myself just yet, so I guess that's my cue.

I don't know why you're so obsessed with this? He just added a black Solid Color layer then masked it around the boy. It's kindergarten Photoshop. He used the Shift key of course. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/shift-while-brushing.html

How does he mask the boy so impeccably?! (I know the boy is missing the right eyebrow, but I think that's done on purpose). Does he fill the 'background' with the black paint? On any particular light? And then the haze is removed completely ( I am just coming to that part in AL, so maybe I'll find my answer there). And the new image is just soo.. clear..how? (maybe that's a non question again).

Still confused

Have you followed ALL the instructions here? Including clicked on the "Click to read detailed instructions" part?

Still no luck with it being unzipped

Did you scroll all the way down to the bottom?

I tried to find the starter point...no success

Ii downloaded the presets and can't seem to find the preset tab. Can you guide me since I seem to be confused? Thanks!

What aspect of the edit are you unclear on?

Hi Damien. I think I have been doing my editing all in the wrong place but don't know how to do it properly. I have been taking my images from SD via card reader, browsing in Bridge. Then I determine sharpness etc, filter words on them. Then I either take them to ACR , do what I need to do and then copy to an ext. hard drive. Or I find an image on my ehd that I want to work on, take to ACR and PS. Then save back to ehd. I think I am supposed to take images from SD card and take those to computer hard drive, yes? I am not even sure how to do this at this point. Then take image from there, work on it and then save to ehd. Help. I am feeling pretty stupid, I am afraid.

Hi Damien, I’m curios on how he does this? That’s twice I’ve seen this done it two days and my curiosity has been peaked. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9FuUa9M1ywkJCN3w/?mibextid=WC7FNe Thank you

I'd recommend the Calibrite Display Pro HL (CCDIS3HL). As Damien pointed out, it will work fine with your current 2017 iMac, and will work fine with the new Apple Displays if you decide to upgrade to a new Mac. When I upgrade my 2017 27" iMac, that's the Calibrator that I'm personally buying.

You're lucky. Every calibrator on the market will run on that computer. Get the best one you can afford. https://www.damiensymonds.net/which-monitor-calibrator-to-buy/

I have a 27-inch 2017 desktop iMac. I really need to calibrate and now have the money to buy one. Is there a certain one I should get based on the computer I have?

I guess I don't. Just wanted to keep the new computer clean with no unnecessary files 😆

Does it matter? Why do you need them?
