Was the third photo (the sky) meant to be a jpeg?

It looks wonderful!

How did it go, @Tmarch?

What did you decide to do about the light? Have you got stronger bulbs?

You can't join it yet!!! Not until you're calibrated properly.

Could you send me the raw files so I can take a look? https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/BellePhotography

I'm really sorry, I'd hoped there would be a more straightforward fix than this. It still involves some cloning ? https://max.mailbigfile.com/d8f65c8e33f72ab0dc96407ac79b4b0b/listFiles.php

Yes, it might be possible. Can you post the crop from the non-sharpened version?

Yes, so it seems. You'll need it to be brighter. No, there's nothing to split them, honestly. They're both great. If you'd asked about the SpyderX Pro and the X-Rite i1 Display Studio, it's definitely the X-Rite.

Your overhead light should match the window light. Yes, it's most likely that your overhead light is too warm.

Talk to me, @Crystal Scheuermann. In what way does your screen differ from your prints?

Holy crap!!! Even 65GB free space wouldn't be enough. 6.5 is deadly dangerous.

Oh no ? No, sorry. If it was a coloured top it would probably be easier, but grey is the WORST for this. It'll just have to be very careful brightening with Levels, sorry.

I think it looks flawless, well done.

May I see it without the crop?

Please post some more photos in class, @Tarria!

Just by using a big brush, as I said. So that the whole of Dad's shirt moved uniformly.

Yep, you're absolutely right. https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/

Yep!

I really think you should persevere with the Liquify option. With a big brush and a gentle touch, it looks ok. Download PSD

Yeah, this was going to be my question. Would you want a subtle gradient the way it is in the photo, rather than just solid black?

Come on Cath, there's a whole module about it. https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/2042-lm-601/

Oh shit! I see the problem! It's not a Solid Color layer!
