Well, I was just thinking about all that wasted light coming through the round lens, you know?

Fair enough

Brian, out of interest, why are cameras still taking rectangular photos? I understand it was a necessity from the film days, but surely it's time to capture the whole circular (or hexagonal) field of light that comes through the lens, to give more compositional options in post-processing? Just throwing it out there.

I'm afraid I don't know how to fix the knot, but I think this makes the tie look much better: https://max.mailbigfile.com/90d94e66f7ad333fc13db7fe4c5651d8/listFiles.php

I get that you don't want to show me his face. But is there more of the tie?

Oh gee. May I see the whole photo for context?

Please @Melissa p?

Yay!

I agree, some overlap is missing.

I will tell you, though, that when I look at these photos I can't tell how they're supposed to join together. So I definitely can't blame Photoshop for not knowing either. Are you SURE you chose the correct photos?

I'm so sorry Laura, this is something I haven't done before.

How do you format them? In camera or in computer?

Thanks @Marszphil. Brian might wish to know the brand and model of the cards, and how old they are.

Oh crap. They're all bad, except for maybe Black River. I'm not sure about it. Definitely never use Bay, Millers or Mpix.

Bay Photo print too warm. You MUST get test prints from a new lab, pronto. They're bullshitting you.

Oh fuck.

Which lab do you print with, by the way?

No you don't. Have you ever been to their house/office/studio to see it for yourself?

Any other rooms in your house with whiter light, that could be your editing space?

Is there any chance you could just take the easy path and only edit during the day?

What's the next option for bulbs? The next highest number?

Gee. 5000K definitely should be white enough.

Remind me what bulbs you have at the moment?

Ok, stick to 70 for luminance when you recalibrate, but yeah, try D55.

Probably 70 for luminance. White point D50 I suppose?
