Oh, phew. It's vitally important never to commence any Photoshop work before the raw processing is done. Because once Photoshop work has commenced, you can't go back, you know? So go ahead and do your raw processing on this photo, then post it for me again.

Did you shoot raw?

I can help with this easily. But you'll need to post the actual photo for me, since screenshots aren't colour-managed.

Would you like to see the PSD of my edit?

I'm not Brian, and I'm sure he'll have all the wisdom in the world for you when he next logs in, but may I ask the silly question? Did you remember to empty your Trash?

Yeah, I reckon so.

Well I'll be damned, the original link doesn't work any more. Can you find it again?

Yes. Yes you are.

Hi @Bernadette, it could be a number of things. First, could you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

Gosh, tough one. How does this look? https://max.mailbigfile.com/e847ce54e8afe9be7580fb35eb1ba0d4/listFiles.php

The method is different for every photo. This is really rubbish quality because I'm working with a low quality web file, but do you think it has potential?

We can make a silhouette from your photo, for sure. But it won't look the same as that one.

Of course not. Your lighting is nothing like that.

Dammit.

No, you signed up for the Bridge Class But that's ok, it's the correct one to start with. The Raw Class comes next.

Have they arrived yet @Melissa p?

You definitely should try it. It might work fine, and if it doesn't, it won't break anything.

Just updated the link.

Are you sure you can't send files directly to the lab, not via Wix, for the purpose of your test prints?

Then PLEASE don't sign up for the Sharpening Class You won't be able to use it, I'm afraid.

@Melissa p, when will your new prints arrive?

Yes you can. The class guides you through getting the prints. What I meant was, can you prepare the files at exactly the right size for each desired print, and upload those specific files for your print order?

It's definitely not ideal. But I understand the lure of the convenience. Will you be able to order your test prints at specific sizes?

Thank you, done.
