Oh, it'll be similar to my other instructions.

No, I'm so sorry.

That's good news.  How about the tiny bit of the girl's missing jeans on the same side?

Okay, that's something.

And do you have another photo of mum's feet (in this exact same pose) where they're not obscured by the blanket?

Bugger.

Well, did you at least take any photos with more available grass than this?

Well, you'll need a suitable photo of the grass.  Did you take a photo of the scene before you put the blanket down?

Gee, cropping won't work, will it?  You'd have to chop of most of their hands.

Minimising the flare is relatively easy.

Remove the blanket?  Wow.  That's the tough one.  What will you replace it with?

There's a very high chance that the eyes really are blurry.  That's very strong flare.

Did you shoot raw?

Hi Laurie, did you shoot raw?

How did this ever turn out, @Roxy Clark?

You must always use pro lab prints for monitor verification.

Hang on, you're not  comparing to home prints are you?

I'd say so.

Comparing your screenshots with my instructions, this is where we seem to deviate.

No more Graphi for you.

Did you use Version 4 with your older device too?

Were you able to speak to a tech?

Did you double-check to make sure White LED is correct for your screen?

Not at all.  You'll be fine for the usual monthly calibration.

Have you spoken to Graphi about this problem?

Print profiles are the profiles that GOOD PROFESSIONAL labs provide to their customers.

For soft-proofing.  https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/03/bit-about-soft-proofing.html

Also what do we think about just created a calibration profile for my computer to match their printer for when I order from them?

FUCK NO.

How's the print match?  (Not the Graphi prints of course.)

It looks like it should be a good screen.
