In what way does the screen differ from the prints now?

Perfect! Now just below that layer add a white "Solid Color" layer, then invert its mask, then carefully paint it on over the overhanging parts of the photos.

No, the black on white one is fine. Can you move that layer to the very top of the layer pile, then change its blend mode from "Normal" to "Multiply" then show me another screenshot?

Done.

Ah, fantastic. From what I can see, the Mickey Mouse layer is just a black outline on a white background, is that correct?

@Jamie Hogerheide did you browse the other threads before posting this? This question has been asked a LOT, and Brian has answered it a LOT.

Hi @Jojomojo, could you post an actual screenshot from your screen, rather than a photo of your screen?

Use Normal gamut for now. Get one of the Spyder X devices.

Yeah, there's a significant likelihood of that.

Yeah.

Yep, let me know.

Is it bright, though? Is your room as bright as indirect sunlight?

PLEASE answer the question.

Holy shit, no, of course you must not make any edits!

Are you sure your room is bright enough?

No, you're reading the wrong instructions. Use the correct ones please. https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration.html

I'm so sorry mate, Photoshop is the only software I know.

Hi @Wayne, welcome. I'm not sure how long you've "known" me, so I'm not sure how many of my articles you've read. Have you seen this one?

What the heck????? PLEASE fix your screen brightness problem.

How did it go, @Rosemarie David?

When you first lower your screen's brightness to where it correctly matches the prints, you're likely to HATE it. But I promise, within a week you'll be wondering how you ever tolerated it so bright before.

No, sorry While you're waiting for the calibrator to arrive, can you at least compare your screen to prints, and turn its brightness down to match them?

Oh gee, this is bad. We can't continue while your photo is so dreadfully dark. PLEASE buy a monitor calibrator as soon as you can.

That's right, yes.
