Hey Brian,

I'm in the market for a laptop and I'm seeing several with the NVIDIA RTX A2000. What are your thoughts on these compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 and higher?

(I have read all of your pinned posts and the laptops I'm looking at meet or exceed your qualifications)

Thanks!

Switching the blend mode of the hue/sat 1 layer to Luminosity helps some, but definitely looks flat compared to Soft Light.

I agree!

Without thinking I answered the calibration question about my home monitor, but I am traveling and editing on a friend's factory calibrated monitor. I did, however, bring pro prints to match and they are dead on. I apologize...clearly I am a hot mess today. 

My Windows desktop is calibrated and I have an exact print match.

Yes. The forum won't allow me to upload it though

Ah! Sorry, didn't realize I had uploaded a cropped version. Here is the uncropped

Hey Damien,

I'm working on a black background portrait of this horse who has a severely sunbleached coat on his neck/body and some sweaty patches. I'm struggling to even out and darken his neck/body to match his cheek. How would I go about doing this? Thanks!

My attempt:

How his coat normally looks:

I changed to 100% and now all of the text is too small to read, even with the text size set to the largest option. I'm using a 4K monitor. Is there anything I can do to make it friendlier on my eyes?
