All of this is based on this method: https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/ This one is also very important: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/10/using-photoshops-gradient-layer.html

Download PSD First, I selected a few stripes with the marquee tool: Then added a gradient layer: Then modified the gradient layer to make the left-hand side as accurate as possible: Then loosely re-masked that layer all around them: Then added the second layer (clipped to the first one): Finally, masked the first layer for a smooth blend, and added the noise layer.

Well, I'll be very interested to hear your analysis.

Is that your observation too?

That function seems to assume that our screens are insanely bright, and it has to dim things to match prints. But of course we know better - our screens are already dim enough to match prints.

It's fair to say that at the time LR was first developed, there were VERY few screens showing greater than sRGB on the market.

I'm ashamed to say I can't remember what came first in this chicken-and-egg scenario; whether the fallacy of working in a wide gamut space was already circulating the community before LR and Adobe jumped on board, or whether they lead it.

This is not uncommon. Some people choose 350 for this very reason.

Never mind, I got it, thanks. Enjoy the bonus module!

Just post it here if you like!

Unless they can provide you with a bigger version of the photo, it won't look good I'm afraid.

Can you steer them towards a canvas print? Canvas is more forgiving of enlargements.

(Make sure you err a bit on the darker side for the subjects with your Levels work - that will help.)

Yeah, that works. Slightly desaturating the yellows of the field, eh? And once you do your Levels work, the subjects will stand out well enough.

I don't know what you're asking either, sorry

Are you asking how to change the field grasses to a different colour?

I think it would be tricky to get rid of it altogether, but it can certainly be diminished. What do you think of this? Levels layer: R 66/0.90/255 G 49/0.97/255 B 29/1.00/255

Is this a recent problem, or has it always been this way?

Wonderful. Let me know as soon as they arrive.

Great!!! When do you expect to receive them?

Of course not. They'll be ok, just not quite as good as they can be.

Because you don't know how yet.

Yes, if that suits you. There are two ways you can do it: Crop with nothing in the options bar, then use the Image Size function after that (with "Resample Image" checked) to resize them; or Crop with the "px" values in the options bar.

Yes I did!!!!!

That's wonderful news ❤️
