No...not successfully anyway. I messed around with it to see what it did about 6-8 months ago and got super frustrated.

One of the other gals was in with her and noticed how high above her glasses it is, compared to the other eye. That made her super conscious of it. I think if I can just on a whole, move it down a bit, she would be super happy. I told her that I was not sure if it was possible but that I would give it a go.

Holy crap did I miss it? Oye vey!!! WOW what a difference it made. Thanks Damo for the swift kick.

I had done most of the raw before posting, but as you saw I forgot to change pages on your raw class flow chart and get to the noise removal... I hope in time it becomes rote & that I remember that part. I always played around with the raw edits in ACR, but never really knew what I was doing. Here is the 700x700 fixed up.

One of 17 headshot clients, drew in her eyebrows crooked before she came into the makeshift studio for her turn. I told her I would try to fix, but no guarantee that it would work. I also have to work it around her glasses. Any ideas?

Those angles don't look too dissimilar.  I would have thought the swap would work ok.

For heaven's sake make sure you don't do any Photoshop work until you've finished the raw work, though.

So once I am totally finished with RAW, should I do it as a composite and then mask off the extra? Should I do both eyes at the same time? Use "place" correct? to place the no-eyeglass eyes....

That worked.

You're not attempting to upload full-sized photos are you?

I did the 700x700 pixel crop that is 100%. How am I suppose to do it? I may have to upload them tomorrow as I have a desert to make for my day job for tomorrow....

Oh, and I'll need 100% crops of both.

It won't let me upload more. " You are only allowed to upload 19.53mb. " is the message I got.

I know her sweater is clipping reds, but they are not going to print regular staff photos, only the lawyers & luckily they did not wear extra vibrant colors.... I tried to also upload the photo with no glasses but it would not let me do it.

I need to do my raw edits and I will be back.

I am pretty sure I saw a tut on replacing eyes for people who wear glasses & there is a reflection in the lens. I simply can not find it. I had 18 headshots at a lawyers office; no one blinked, but I do have 2 people with eyeglass reflections that are quite bad. I did take a photo of them without their glasses, because no matter how I had them tilt their heads or move their glasses, there was reflections. Can you link the tut for me? TIA!

I had a kicker speed light placed too far forward and did not see the deep shadow it caused on the side of the woman's nose. Is there any way to reduce it? I tried the Handyman method and I was having issues with it. Attached a 700x700 crop

I have a PC laptop running Windows 10 and Elements 13. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 103GB free out of 218GB. The last time I shut down was more than 2 days ago. I run a cleanup program about once a month.

I run a clean up when Norton suggests it. I know I need to shut down more often.... that is probably my issue... I just hate waiting for it to fully boot up...I am shutting her down now...and will make it a priority of doing it every evening....even if I hate it.

I tried it and it did not seem to do anything. So I closed the program and when I re-opened it, the panel was back where it belongs. Thank you!

here is in case you needed it with a photo open....Thanks so much Damien!

I had finished editing and had nothing open. Did you need a photo open as well?

When using a tool, in Elements 13, there used to be a box on the bottom that you could hid or show to adjust a certain tool and I can't seem to find it now. It is like all of a sudden it is missing. I was in the middle of using an action to put my watermark on my photo and I could normally open up the tool adjustment box (sorry for the wrong terminology) to be able to check the "constrain proportions" so that when I grab the corner handle I could size it proportionally down. Now if I am not careful it will size down and get squished. The box would come up where I drew arrows. TIA!

OK... this is not my day.... It is fine right now. It opened as it should. When I opened it this morning after downloading some RAWs, the panel was missing and it was back on "guided" instead of "expert". 12 hours later it decides to behave....omg.... ***palm to face***

I feel so dumb..... ugh!!!

I am so sorry... I did not mean to waste your time.  I guess I thought it was there all the time and I chose to notice it was not there when I did not have a photo open.

I have put the panels back already but I will screen shot it again.

Sorry..... got it figured out. Once I opened a photo, I saw the mini window where color space goes. I got it fixed. I am not sure why I did not notice that it was there when a photo was open.....

Here is the screen shot Damien. Thanks!
