Yeah, I can't find anything to contradict that either. Your Spyder worked ok on your previous screen?

What Display Technology did you choose? https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32038-xelite-11/

Thanks. And did you follow my calibration directions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/

May I have a link to the specs of your new screen?

Interesting! Is there a library of skies to choose from?

May I see?

Oh, this is always tricky. You need to begin by cloning the people out of the darker photo. So that it's just a photo of scenery, you know? That removes a lot of the difficulty of "lining up".

Great! Emailed you.

Gee, don't keep me in suspense, @Shellylyn! How did it go?

All the channels are too damaged for any kind of "rescue" of those areas. It'll just be painstaking cloning, and/or swapping in areas of detail from another shot.

Great! So yes, go ahead and calibrate with a lower brightness setting. https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/

You don't need new prints. Of course your lab don't change they way they print just because one of their customers got a new calibrator. Please check the prints you already have.

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

Oh yeah, I love that!!!

Ok, can you show me a screenshot of that image, with its layers panel visible?

I reckon just broadly mask the gradient layer out towards the right-hand side, so the gradient blends seamlessly with the existing backdrop.

levels, yes. But no gradient layer necessary.

Well, I still don't understand why you did anything. It looked fine before.

The last one, sorry.

Gee, it's pretty haloey around her. But still, you might get away with it.

Have you tried Content Aware Fill? Sometimes it's good. (And sometimes not.)

I don't understand. Why do you need to change the background at all?

Sure! You'll need to give me the photo without your first gradient layer.

I'm fairly certain, yes.
