I'm going to do some darker prints to compare. Screen seems very bright compared to the others. The srgb was 100% thank goodness. I'll let you know what it looks like once I have the other prints to compare. 

Upgraded! Dell xps15. Windows 10. Now to figure it all out.

Hi Damien 

Calibrating a new dell xps15 with a spyder 4 elite and I'm receiving the attached message at the end. Followed the steps for calibrating with the spyder 5 elite tutorial and my screen brightness is 84 after brightness calibration is complete. This appears at the end. Screen is really bright compared to my laptop and my Asus screen. Have I done something wrong?

I need to upgrade everything to be honest and it's on my list to do!

Please disregard! I fixed it

Hi Brian! 

I hope you can help me. I'm panicking. I was trying to install presets and following instrustions from a youtube video. It told me to go to my user profile and look for app data. You can't see it, it's hidden which is fine but I cam back to the users folder to unhide hidden folders and my entire user profile has disappeared! I have no idea how to get it back or where it went given I didn't change anything just searched. Any ideas? I have windows 8.1 if that helps.

HI Damien,

Is there anything I can do with the glasses in this?Desperate to improve even if one slightly.

Yes every photo. 

I have a PC laptop running Windows 8.1 and Photoshop CC. It is over 2 years old, and has 12GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 282GB free out of 537GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I run a cleanup program about once a week.

Saved on internal drive. Backed up to external drive already.

No nothing at all. It also removed all the ratings. Reinstall do you think?

Hi Damien,

Opening a file in ACR from bridge, do my raw adjustments, press done or open and changes are not saving and not opening in PS. Have I pressed something?

Yes sorry!

Hi Damien,

I've been using your sharpening action for fb but it resizes to 700px. You recommended resizing to 2048px for fb. What sharpening values should I change the action to so I can use it at the adjusted size?

They only went back wednesday.

Haven't tried yet but definitely will when I have two seconds. School holidays...

They replaced the screen and cables attaching it :). And yes i did have a feather set!

They're resized and watermarked with your web actions to 700px.

Hi Damien,

My clients select their final images for editing from an online gallery in flickr. It displays the exif data and I'd like to remove it all so from the image before uploading so they don't have access. What's the best way to do this in photoshop/bridge? 

More totally frustrating than anything!

Sorry Damien I cant check. The issues I was having with my screen came to a head. Apparently the screen cable came away from the motherboard. So no computer whilst its being replaced. I'll let you know when I get it back.

Content aware fill edges with Marquee tool.

Full screen shot and 100%. I know you're going to say add a duplicate layer and do it again but I've never had to before so not sure why the line is appearing. If I marquee the whole corner and delete and use content aware fill I'm also getting a white border around the outer edge which never happened before either. 

Hi Damien,

Usually when I'm extending a background I select the edge I want to extend with the marquee tool, ctrl T and drag the edge. I'm not sure what has changed but now I get a line on the opposite side. What have a pressed?

Hi Damien,

What is the best method to match the skin tone on her belly to her chest? Where she is tanned is such a different colour to her stomach. 

Ah yes it worked!! Thank you!
