Thanks Brian, I bought both! It cleared enough space for the adjustments to come back so I didn't have to re-edit this set of images! 

I need to do some real backing up this weekend so I can get photos off my computer still, but it was a start. 

Thank you all!

Well it says "Get your Mac the brand new duplicate finder. Gemini 2 saves even more space on your Mac: it finds duplicates, spots similar files, and cleans them all out. System Requirements: OS X 10.10+"
 

Do you think it's safe/good to use?

Do you recommend purchasing? It only cleared 500 MB for free.
And should I "Add on" gemini 2". I am a little worried it might erase similar edits (MoriahBdaycrop.psd and MoriahBday2.psd for example)

I have a Mac laptop running 10.10.5 and Photoshop CC. It is under 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 12GB free out of 250GB. The last time I shut down was more than 24 hours ago. I have never run a cleanup program.

I thought it might be disk space, but I have 12GB available. 

It's Photoshop CC. I thought maybe I needed to update, so I did. But it's still doing the same thing.
 

To be specific, the new one says Bridge CC 2015, Photoshop CC 2015

ACR keeps erasing my adjustments. Do you know why this might be happening? I always cull first by choosing the ones I will edit by giving them a 5* rating, then I edit. The first time it hid several files and I couldn't find them, so I re-uploaded them. Now for the past few days when I go back to finish editing, the adjustments and ratings are gone, so I keep having to start over. I tried to download the most recent update, but now I'm starting over AGAIN. 
Any tips/tricks?

Thanks!

Ah, I finally got it to work. I moved the layer, which was throwing it off. Thank you!

I was hoping for a guaranteed even look, but I will give this a shot.

Damien, can you expound? I'm not sure what you mean. 

This one, I couldn't get her skin to not be blown without losing highlights (which made her face look flat and full). 

I forgot I never responded to this. I don't remember if I ended up just tweaking things until I liked it or following the flow chart. The shirt is chartreuse, not yellow, so the coloring bothers me. I also didn't like how flat looking it all looked trying to get the shirt to not be blown out. 

The Print area (within the white paper) is 8x12 if that helps at all!

What would be the best technique for softening the edges of this to mimic this other piece?

Thank you!


 

I have an arm and a leg to give. I just want it done!

Well, come on, give yourself a chance.

I hate how things come out looking after following your steps in ACR. Which probably means I need the levels class. But I won't be able to do that all in one day AND edit, I suppose!

I haven't. I'm having a hard time wanting to edit and need them by Monday morning.   

 

Hi Damien/others,

I am looking to hire someone to do my edits for me. I specifically have one session that I hated, so I've had a tough time wanting to edit it. Is there somewhere I can find someone to do my edits for me? I want clean edits, so it should be fairly simple for someone who knows what they are doing.
There's always the potential that it could turn into an all-the-time thing too!

Thanks!
 

Thank you!!! With contrast this is the result: 
 

I'm not sure if you'll get this in time, but I have a strict deadline for this photo. It was a last-minute shoot for a publication (just shot an hour ago), and I need it by tomorrow.

I need help removing the sun flare on the bottom half of the photo. It cuts through the couple as I'm sure you can see.. 

I am going to try increasing the contrast masked onto the bottom to help with the haze, but how should I take the yellow down? A color balance layer with blue added? 

I appreciate any help you can give!
 

I just got some mounted 5x7s back that are extremely soft. I'm wondering if this was caused by downsampling (is that even the right term)? I had these same photos printed on canvas (a 20x30 and four 12x12s) and they looked great!

Thanks!
