Addie Mears

No there is not, it stops about 1/3 of the way over. I should have removed that area more carefully before I sent it over - I just wanted to see if I was on the right track first!

Yes. here it is.

It is over a lot of the dress, just most harsh on the lower right side and midsection. There is also some around the chest area, but less harsh.

Okay I think I figured it out.. here it is. It does seem I did something wrong though? The color looks more fake than the one you sent me.

Thank you, I created the channel mixer layer but I cannot figure out how to create the color fill layer. Addie

Forgot noise reduction. Here it is with noise reduction.

Ah yes, okay. Here is another attempt.

Hi Damien, I am stumped with this moire.. please ignore the washed out face, I wanted to respect this client's privacy. Thank you for any help you can offer! Addie I did do raw processing with noise removal.

Okay so I went in and checked out everything. I did do all of this when I first got into Damien's classes so mostly everything was set up. I did notice though a couple things! 1. I noticed under the cache tile size it was set to 1028K not 128K. So, I updated that. 2. Graphic processor: Recently I have experienced two of the little black boxes popping up. Just recently and it rarely happens, but I just wanted to throw that out there. I left it as you said to leave it. 3. Scratch disk... so right now my Mac pops up, "Macintosh HD, 32.23GB, Startup" and each drive I plug in will as well. So, in order to move it then, do I need to choose any one of my HD's to use as scratch space, or use the HD that I actively edit on? Multiple? That makes sense. What would you recommend for solving the internal problem? Clarification - it is set to Macintosh. When the drives get plugged in, they are not automatically checked, only the Macintosh.

Yes unfortunately, it is a stupidly small 250GB HD. I do have multiple hard drives I back up to. I have one drive I edit off of, and two others that hold RAWs, final edits, etc. I also keep the RAWs on the memory card until the gallery is delivered and then I wipe it and put it back into rotation. During editing, I do not swap between them a lot. When I first upload RAWs and at the end of that gallery I will put multiple in to back it up, but I keep the current project edits on one drive. I do eject every time. Every once in a blue moon my computer will claim I did not eject properly (even though I did eject!) but yes I eject very time.

Okay thank you.

I'm getting scratch disk full errors in photoshop and would like to purge the cache (right?). If I edit on an external drive and not off my Mac, can I purge the cache on my Mac (external drive unplugged) and still save the edits on my drive, and be able to open them up again in Bridge for a current project? Also, on this note.. is it terrible to edit on/off of an external drive? Aka plug the drive in, open that folder in Bridge/Photoshop, export and save into drive, etc. Thanks!
