Just revisiting this one. I got some really good profile shots of this guy. Even with the Moire removed it still shows up severely at different zoom levels. I understand why this happens. Is there a way to reduce how much moire occurs when not zoomed to 100%? I specifically said no thin striped or checked shirts before the shoot and I have had no luck organising a re-shoot as the guy is so busy. Hence the reason I want to use them for advertising, he is very well known in the area and would be great advertising material.

Thank you. I'm getting much better results with zero feathering. Another question. What is the difference between the EDIT>FILL>CONTENT AWARE and just right clicking a selection and choosing CONTENT AWARE. They seem to give very different results.

I have no idea. Maybe I was a little sloppy with my marquee tool. How many pixels of feathering should I have my marquee tool set to?

How does this look? (different shot, same issue) The edges aren't perfect but I will be cropping the shot anyway.

Hi Damien, I am wondering what would be the best approach to fix the banding issue I have in this image. I have about 8 to do. I have read a few of your articles on banding but I believe this banding is a bit different (maybe the approach is the same regardless). Some Canon camera models have this known interference issue when using electronic shutter mode in a room with led lights. I have since leaned that there is an "anti flicker" mode in my camera to help deal with this but it is of little help to me now. I did try and follow your tutorial on replacing the background using gradients with very limited success. The results I get aren't great and I think I would struggle to replicate consistent results over multiple images. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Do these settings look correct?

How might one do that? If I hit control+shift+K its set to srgb already.

I have been doing these box photos for a while now and I don't remember this warning coming up before. The template was purchased a long time ago and is set to ProPhoto RGB. The photos I've edited to go into the template are srgb. Do I need to somehow change the template to srgb before I start inserting my srgb images?

It went well. It's not a technique you've mentioned before so its always fun trying something new. Thanks for your help with it.

I'm wondering if you can help me reduce/remove the moire from this boy's school uniform please?

I too am thinking its a hardware issue. I have calibrated again. I also ran COLORCPL and switched between 3 profiles. The one I've been using for the last month, the one I created earlier today that was fine until I rebooted and the one I just created out of desperation to get this fixed. All 3 look the same. All of my photos that looked fine yesterday with a saturation adjustment layer set to 8 or 9 now need to be up around 20 to look anywhere near the same. What I don't understand is how my SpyderX is calibrating the desaturated screen and telling me its displaying 100% or sRGB and 99% or Adobe RGB accurately. Shouldn't the calibration come up with some sort of anomaly if I have a hardware issue?

So I'm having a few problems with my calibration. I've calibrated my screen today and was happy with the results. Photos look good and match my prints. Photoshop started playing up (wasn't displaying levels data after making quick selection and levels adjustment layer) so I restarted my PC and now everything looks hideously washed out and desaturated. I've run through your sRGB trouble shooter which tells me my colour profile is set correctly. I've run the SpyderX software to make sure it hasn't mysteriously swapped to a different profile but it is still set to the profile I created earlier today (that looked fine). Do you have any suggestions on what to check next?

Are you able to please help with fixing the moire on the lady's jumper?

Got it. Thank you.

I'm a little confused. On my screen when viewing in PS the moire hasn't changed at all after the channel mixer layer has been applied.

I swear I've entered the correct numbers. Where am I going wrong?

I knew as soon as this guy walked in that his shirt was going to be a problem. Can I please have some help removing the moire?

Hi there, I’m currently using a BenQ SW270C monitor that I love but I am about to go on an extended holiday and don’t want to pack my good monitor in the car to take with me. There is a BenQ G2400WD for sale second hand in my area but I don’t quite know enough about the technical jargon to understand how it will compare to my current SW270C. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ahh, so the file needs to be 6mm longer and 6mm higher than it is currently? also they just got back to me. They use RGB.

I'm actually not 100% sure what that means. I assumed it may result in me losing 3mm around the edge of the print which really won't change a lot. Or will it?

Here it is on Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/14uRK4fs12hxX1_JiZHxlvkK8sJCp7D9B/view?usp=share_link

I keep getting an unknown server error when uploading. Is there a limit on file dimensions etc? I'm only trying to upload a 3.2mb version but it is 222cm by 22cm

The design is only photos. This is all they have told me. ”ARTWORK: Print Ready Artwork to be Supplied by Client. Accepted Formats are PDF with Text converted to outlines and 3mm Bleed required to all sides. Any Graphic Design Required will be Charged at $100 per hour + gst. PROOF: Yes - Online TURNAROUND: Standard (5+ Days) PRINT Full Colour Print 1440dpi on Agfa UV Flatbed x 1” Sounds like I might need to ask a few more questions.

I am about to send a design off to my local sign writer so that it can be printed and put on the side of my car. They’re asking for the design (which contains a number of photos) to be submitted as a PDF. Is there any difference in print quality between a high quality JPG and a PDF?

Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated.
