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?

It will help Brian if you can quantify your budget. How much do you have to spend?

Hi @Luckyvok, did you browse the forum before posting? This question has been asked a LOT.

Oh gee, gotta have Bridge installed. It's SO important.

As far as raw processing goes, you'll enjoy more powerful batch-processing capabilities from Bridge than you ever had with PSE. Do you have Bridge installed? But mainly, it's the Levels Class you need to read again. It's all different.

Hi @Melissa p, please don't wait any longer to dive into your Raw Class!

Yeah, of course you have to finish reading the class first.

Sure, go for it! Do your raw edit and post it in the class for me.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Thank you! I look forward to seeing lots and lots of your photos in the Deluxe Posting Area.

Yay!! ❤️ I'll email you.

Correct. Not just our favourite prints, but ALL our prints. Once you're calibrated, you can have confidence with your editing. When you're editing a photo, you know that it will print exactly the way you're editing it. This is not because they printed badly. The lab faithfully printed the exact files you sent them. The reason you don't like the colour of your prints is because you EDITED them badly. Once you have good calibration, you'll never edit badly again. So, calibrate again. Make the screen match the prints.

Do you understand why it's important to calibrate our screens?

It doesn't matter that you don't like the colour of the prints. You have to make your screen match them. Once the screen matches your prints, you'll know that you don't like their colour BEFORE you print them, don't you see?
