Mine says "Scan for hardware changes" the same as yours. Give it a try.

Are you saying this version doesn't work for you?

It always worked on Windows 10. Why do you think you need updated drivers?

Wow. Ok, we'd better wait for @Brian on this one.

I'm not sure what instructions you've seen, but the way I do it is hold down the Windows key and hit the S key, which brings up my search bar, then I type "device manager". When I launch Device Manager I see the Display Adaptor as one of the options.

The Brightness slider should definitely be at the top of that window. But this is more than just a brightness problem, because your Resolution field is also greyed out. It smells like a graphics driver issue to me.

Can you scroll up a bit? I need to see what's above the "Color profile" bit.

Hi @JoJo momo, Brian will be along soon to give you better advice, but in the meantime can you right-click on your desktop and choose "Display settings" ... ... then show us a screenshot of the Display window that opens up?

Yes they do, and it's vital to adhere to them.

This says it's 1200 for LinkedIn?

For which website? 1250 isn't a common social media size.

Can you elaborate on the question? Has this file been resized and sharpened for a specific purpose; if so, what purpose?

Wow!

You're safe from Stage 1. Once you've finished editing and you're ready to output, you'll need to be vigilant in Stages 2 and 3.

I'm guessing you hadn't read the article then

Just to check, have you read this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/02/moire.html

Yeah, I'll need the 100% crop. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

Do you need to run your eye over the "Artistic colour embellishments" module again?

Please post something new in class, @Linda Sutton!

The photos you posted above (yours) look like SOORs. They don't seem to have any Levels work done at all?

No, I'm just checking to make sure you know how to edit.

No, sorry @LibbyG. Only for Photoshop. Please invest in Photoshop Elements. It's very affordable, and incredibly powerful. https://www.damiensymonds.net/what2buy.html

Right ... but you do know HOW to edit a punchy image, yes?

Have you zoomed in to 100% to make sure it's not just a trick of your screen?

There's nothing else to explain. Just do this. Before Content Aware.
