@Cindy, I just sent you my link in a message on your Impromptu page. Can you try it?

Well ... no. What's all that gibberish after the email address? That wasn't there when I tried it.

Use https://tinyurl.com/ Enter your mailto link - eg mailto:info@damiensymonds.net - and let tinyurl turn it into a link. Facebook will honour that link. At least, it did for me when I just tried it.

I'm sorry you didn't ask me. But I'm glad she's happy.

Yep, it's applicable to any photo that is well-focused and not grainy. Modern phones can take good clean photos. It will rock your world, I promise.

As big as she likes. As big as a bus if she wants. As long as you don't need to crop it very much, is all. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2014/03/how-aggressively-can-i-crop.html

No, that won't be sufficient. Try it this way: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/tips-for-photographing-old-photos-for.html

Well ... yes, if the digitisation is of sufficient quality. Will you be able to get the actual photo, so you can scan it yourself? This kind of work lives or dies by the quality of the scan.

Fabulous.

Both are great devices, but since the Spyder X range is newer, that's the one I'd go for.

Done.

Lightroom is shit. You only love it because you don't know any better.

Only the stupid Lightroom shit. You must MUST abandon that. https://www.damiensymonds.net/examining-the-complexities-of-an-acr-workflow.html

Come on, I'm trying to get you away from that shit!

How did you go, @KLK? Did you order new prints?

Great! So just go Image>Mode>RGB.

@SRubyor, are you still there?

What file format is it saved in? Yes, don't worry, we'll be able to convert it.

Got it, thanks. Now start flooding me with photos!

I've emailed you.

Yep, that's what I thought. The bulbs are duds Are you able to work that way for now?

I wanted to know how the print-to-screen comparison looks in the daylight, rather than under your bulbs?

Yeah, I feared it would be a little warm. Out of interest, are you in a room where you can open the blinds and let daylight come in?

No, I don't either! It's very unusual. I reckon maybe the print lab did some of their own "auto corrections" on those prints?

Don't keep me in suspense! How did the recalibration go? Does the screen match your prints now?
