I guess I lucked out this time, thank goodness! I'm still amazed at how you're able to learn how to do so many different things AND retain it. Damn, dude. You rock.

Oh, sorry. I didn't go back and reread this whole thread, and I have the memory of a goldfish. I just got all excited that it worked on this one. LOL Yes, it was blue and orange on a gray shirt.

So, I had this happen AGAIN. With the SAME COUPLE for their newborn portraits. However, a friend reminded me to search old forum posts on FB, and I found the fix that I remembered from way back when....it involved a sold color layer on color mode. Is there a reason you no longer suggest this method? I haven't gone back to try it on this maternity photo, because that's long ago delivered, but it appeared to work on my most recent problem, so I was wondering if there is a reason I shouldn't be using it anymore? Thanks! I thought I better check before I print big.

I didn't want to post it publicly, so I had sent it via PM to a friend. It's not for my use, but to give to the client. It's really not a big deal. I don't want to waste any more of your time. I was able to get it looking good enough for the 8x10 print, so I'm not terribly worried about the Facebook file any more. If the print arrives and looks crappy, though, you'll definitely be hearing back from me before I reprint it. LOL

I did, and the moire came back.

Yes! That did look better!

Oh, sorry. I thought you meant to run it the way I usually do. I'll try again. I'm sorry. I'm clearly terrible at following directions tonight. I don't mean to waste your time, so thank you for your patience. I hope this is right....

I have. I'm planning on revisiting this and either using that or creating a new one. I'm getting a new computer on Monday, though, so I'll wait until then, as I already have everything from this one backed up and ready to move over.

Sure, just a minute.

I do add a watermark. I think you had helped me write my action YEARS ago. Like, many, many years ago. I suppose it's time for revision. The only reason I keep the 11:15 shape for Facebook is because they are already cropped like that when I'm creating digital files for customers (and that's what I use when I show them their photos, so they are already cropped like that anyway). It saves me time if they choose to purchase any digital files, because it's already done. I'll revisit my process and write an updated action to suit the new norms. I'm so out of touch. LOL Thanks again for your help! I wish I could spend more time in this forum. I feel so out of touch now that you're not on Facebook anymore.

It ends up being 900x660 pixels. Maybe I misspoke?

Oh no. Just for Facebook posting.....

Web size I usually crop to 15x11 at 72ppi. For the 8x10, 300ppi. If it's something I have to live with doing the blur, I'm sure I can. I'm guessing I can get it to the point where the clients won't notice much, and I'm not the one who has to look at it every day. *sigh*

I have to prepare for web and for an 8x10 print. I seem to remember there being a method that involved painting a color layer on set to some other setting or something. Is that only for colored objects? Or am I thinking of something completely different? Thanks for your help!
