I just recently calibrated my IMac with an i1 Display Pro, it was off so bad and that’s why my prints came back awfully dark and didn’t matched nothing like what I see on my monitor. Now that I have calibrated my monitor,..... Do I need to start all over with the images I edited with an un calibrated monitor??? 

I have already corrected the color space on ACR for future edits. Unfortunately I edited images with the wrong color space, Is there a way to change the color space without having to re-edit all the images again?

Hi Damien, long time since I've been here. Just today I noticed my mac desktop overheating a lot more than normal. 27inch iMac. It works fine and even though it's very hot I can still edit pictures. But it's beginning to worry me so I just turn it off. I can't hear any fans running so I think the fans are out. Any DIY tips? 

How can i smooth out the sand around and make it look believable?

1. I'd run the Crucial Scanning tool to make sure you are buying the correct RAM type. All those little numbers mean something and it's better to get matching sticks. Just buying the cheapest option on Amazon may not be the best candidate  

2. What make model year is your iMac? Hopefully it's a 27". If it's a current 21.5" model, you can't upgrade it yourself. Only the 27" models. 

Oh i forgot to mention that I do have a 27" mid 2011 model.

Also, replacing the HD with a SSD is going to require someone who is either certified, or knows what they are doing. Replacing the HD requires removing the display, and the Macs from 2012 to present use a special glue to keep things together. (No, you can't buy this glue.) It's a real PITA and honestly, I'd invest in a large Thunderbolt EHD than attempt to replace the internal HD. 

You say you'd personally invest in a large thunderbolt EHD, is this a better option, to just add the 16GB of RAM and getting the large Thunderbolt EHD?

Getting a 1TB SSD drive isn't going to do much. Except speed things up. The problem is not your 1TB drive, the problem is that it's almost full. You want to keep 75% free. So I'd free up a few hundred gigs first, before blowing money on a SSD Drive. 

Target 400GB free to start. Time to delete those 75 Raw images of your lunch from 3 years ago. Be ruthless in culling. 

I keep all my photos on EHD, I'm comfused when you say to keep 75% free of what? Hard drive space or RAM?

Hi Damien, I'm going to order the crucial 16GB kit from amazon for my mac, can you refer me to a reputable site that can show me how to install this myself? Thanks

OMG damien i was just searching crucial. A friend mentioned them to be very reliable. Now I have to see if they also offer SSD, I was also told to get rid of my HHD and go SSD.

Damien, do you know how much more memory I can add to my mac?

Which version do you recommend the free one or buy??  

I would also love to know what can I upgrade. I bought my Mac back in 2012.

I have a Mac desktop running OS X EL CAPITAN and Photoshop 2015CC. It is over 2 years old, and has 4GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 243.24GB free out of 999.35GB. The last time I shut down was last night. I have never run a cleanup program.

Yes I did both and still getting this error.

Hi Damien I keep getting this error. I already purged. Need help please. 

I forgot to mention that right next to the system level, it says Not writable, do you happen to know what this means?

It lets me save if i check user level. It wont let me save if i check system level, will this work if i check user level?

Thanks, I figured it out. Now I'm running into another problem. When i go to save my profile and name it the way you said to, I get an error, and this is what the error says" Error saving the profile to: /Library/Colorsync/profiles/native 100.icm  What should I do?

What I mean while i'm in the calibration, the whole screen is white and there is nothing else on the screen.

Hi Damien I have an IMac and i am calibrating it again after not doing it for so long, but there is no way to adjust the brightness when prompted to do so. Do you know how I can adjust to get it close to the lines?

thanks

Hello, I  wondering what everyone has this set too,  do you have it set to default for display or scaled? Mine  is set on default but I'm not sure if that's where it's supposed to be . And  if it needs to be on scaled,  what should be my setting? 

Hi damien, I would like to get some clarification on how much room to leave around the image when cropping to 15:11 ratio?

I resolved my issue thanks.

Safe as a bank, yes.  Very well regarded.

Okay I'm on the website to buy the program and its asking if i want to bundle it with Gemini, do you recommend it? I have never scanned my entire computer for duplicate files to remove them, and thats what this does.
