No no no, never worry about the gamut warning. Use the profile properly.

Ok, it sounds like there are two separate issues here, and the fact that they both involve magenta is a simple but unfortunate coincidence. The first thing you must do is obtain a soft-proofing profile from your lab and try it.

I can see magenta (pink) areas in the 2nd and 3rd photos, but what are the problem areas in the 1st and 4th?

Can you post the photos you're looking at?

Oh darn Ok, well your next step is to clone out that vertical crease down the photo, yeah?

Yes.

Oh, hooray!!!! https://www.damiensymonds.net/scanning-guidelines-for-old-photo-restoration.html

To look at the mask full screen there are two ways: Press the \ (backslash) key to see it in red Alt-click on the mask thumbnail in the layers panel to see it in black and white.

Can you elaborate on the question?

Oh rats. No chance of you getting the photo to scan it?

Hi Michelle, before we start, can you read this and let me know when you've done so? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/05/please-be-wary-of-cmyk.html

Did you scan it yourself?

So do you need to manually change the ".tif" to ".png"?

I'm not sure without seeing it. Can you show me a screenshot?

Oh crap. Without a raw file I fear this is doomed to failure.

Yes to both questions - yes it can be done, and yes it will look terrible. Still, let's give it our best shot. Do you have it in raw format?

Yeah!!

So generally for wrinkles like that I would duplicate the Background layer, then use the Patch and Clone tools to get rid of the troublesome wrinkles entirely; then lower the opacity of that layer to let the wrinkles re-appear slightly in a natural-looking way.

May I have a 100% crop from the shirt as well?

For the jeans, try this Channel Mixer layer: R +100, 0, 0, 0 G +90, 0, 0, +12 B +72, 0, 0, +24

Just to check, have you read this? Doesn't go against it at all. You'd just make the Blacks slider your very last step, and move it as low as you wish to get rid of detail you don't want. Just be VERY careful not to get rid of detail you do want.

Holy crap. Firstly, are you aware that Microsoft has now (as of a few days ago) stopped supporting Windows 7 with security updates? So you will be increasingly vulnerable. But anyway, 4GB of RAM is far too little to run Adobe software. You MUST invest in a newer computer pronto.

Yeah, definitely time for an upgrade This is what Brian said in another thread:

I'm very very sure Brian will say a desktop is better. What computer do you have at the moment?
