Thanks that’s really helpful. I already have an iiyama monitor and a keyboard so only looking to get a computer of some sort. I don’t really want another laptop. I totally get it with not being able to upgrade Apple products any more once purchased that’s why I’m thinking of going the windows way. I am getting confused with the difference between the intel iris xe graphics card being offered by Geekom in their intel i9 mini pc’s or the AMD series using the Radeon 780M or 890M graphics card. The problem is most companies advertise for gamers these days rather than photographers. I’m not bothered what company I use but Geekom on Amazon has been given good ratings. Can you recommend a brand or do I need to do a bit of research using your advice and see what is on the market within my budget? Thanks

I am currently using a MacBook Air, 16GB ram and 256GB memory and it getting difficult to edit due to the memory and scratch disc issues. I’ve looked at getting the Mac mini but to spec it up it’s expensive. An alternative at the moment is a windows mini pc with 32GB ram and 2TB memory. I’ve looked at the Geekom. Can I have an opinion and info on what else I should be looking for. Thanks

It’s ok I had manual on and it didn’t appear so when I changed it there it was🙈😂

Hi where can I find the chromatic aberration tick box in the updated version of ACR?

Thanks

Probably not

Ok will do then create the preset

They are just going to be out on their website Put on their website not out🤷🏼‍♀️ predictive text🙈

I took some photos at a local car club and they asked if I don’t mind sending them some (gifted). I am just about to send them but was thinking of using your 15x11 size and PS won’t let me put inches instead of px.

Hi Damien is there anywhere on your site that you explain how to batch resize images thanks

Hi Damien Same photo, is there an easy way to clean up the floor. Footprints, bits of cake etc need to remove. Thanks

It worked, just me having a senior moment👵🙈 Thanks

Thanks I’ll give it another try today

Hi Damien I am trying to use the dust and scratches filter to clean up a baby’s mucky nose and remove blemishes on the chin. Every time I try I end up blurring the rest of the face, hair ears jawline. I’m following the steps according to your instructions but just can’t get the desired effect. Am I supposed to be inverting the mask? Or do I make a selection first?

That’s fair

Am I any closer?

I’ve been away but will sort some soon

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

Ok point taken

I haven’t had the link to join the levels class yet though.

I have applied to do the levels class. I am trying to get away from automated editing, by that I mean using other people’s action sets, topaz and all the AI stuff that companies are pushing now and attempting to edit for myself so I know what I’m doing to the image. Also I’m hoping it will not fill up my scratch discs as quickly. It’s so difficult to wean myself away from one click fixes that I have used for years, but I’m hoping sheer determination and your classes will help me achieve it.

Ah I see ok,

Hi Damien i have used your B&W action and it looks good however the black trousers have lost detail so I have used a levels layer to bring the detail back and now it looks dull. What am I doing wrong.?

It was the rectangular selection tool. I will go and take another look and check it all again. Sorry
