Great! Then I'm not concerned about the curve at this stage. But if it continues to increase, a print match might be harder to achieve.

What? I just told you how to fix it.

Add a Levels adjustment layer and enter these values: - Red channel: 0/1.00/230 - Green channel: 85/1.00/230 - Blue channel: 125/1.00/225 This will make the whole photo kinda crazy orange. Then invert the mask to hide the adjustment. Then use a big soft brush at 10% opacity to paint onto the problem area.

For the love of God, Jess, PLEASE don't wait any longer to learn how to edit.

Phew. Can you confirm your colour space? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

You do have Photoshop though, right?

I can probably help with this, but I'll need the actual photo not a screenshot.

Motion blur is literally directional. So if you see blur more in one direction than another, it's motion blur.

That is a bit odd, for sure. But the curve, by itself, is not the supreme overlord of calibration. How's your print match?

You should definitely try using it. You'll likely need to get the ccProfiler software (second one on this page: https://calibrite.com/us/software-downloads/ )

Yeah, this one doesn't pass. Too much motion blur.

No, never. Contrast remains at factory default. I can't possibly tell that without being in the room with you, sorry. That's your call to make. Gosh yes, it's great.

Yep, for ISO320 this is really good.

For ISO400, it's great. Of course if you'd been in better light and been able to use ISO100 it would have been even better.

This is good. Easily passable focus.

PLEASE read the Bridge Class again. If you've forgotten this, how much else have you forgotten?

No, the card reader is the correct thing to use. I mean don't do this stupid shit: Just literally copy the files from the card to a folder on your computer.

What about when you copy the files from the card to your computer? Does Bridge recognise them after that?

Well, if I was doing it, I'd just add a Levels layer, and move the middle slider on the Green channel to 0.87, and the middle slider on the Blue channel to 0.78.

This is a non-question. Just look at the action steps to see what it does.

And? Can you choose Photoshop as the target application?

I'm always so happy when I meet someone who doesn't know how to install actions. It means they're going to be MUCH easier to teach how to edit. Um, it should simply be a matter of double-clicking the file. It should automatically install in Photoshop. Then when you go to Photoshop and look in the Actions panel, it should be there. But let me know if it isn't.

It's just after breakfast on Sunday here A grey rainy morning so I have nothing better to do

Also, it's really important that you understand this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/one-correct-raw-edit.html
