I don't know, I'm so sorry. I'll move this into Brian's area.

Hi @Khcphotog, Brian will be along shortly to answer your question more thoroughly, but I can tell you that I have seen him say that 32 is a good idea, to future-proof your computer purchase. Not overkill at all. In fact, I believe he himself is running 64GB of RAM!

Time of day must have a lot to do with it. Her editing seems to enhance the existing shadows in her photos, whereas your photo doesn't really have any shadows to work with, you know?

No, sorry.

Yes, 'fraid so

I need the 100% crop.

Did you hold down Shift as you go?

You've put adjustment layers underneath a pixel layer!!! You must NEVER do that.

You need to check the "Sample All Layers" box.

Sorry, I really need to see it to answer this question. Sometimes yes, it is possible. Other times no.

Hell no. The triangles stay. NEVER CROP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Well, this is a good time for a reminder about this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/01/straightening-horizons.html

Good.

Yep, good. Easily passable.

As long as you're doing your raw processing on those files before saving them as TIFF, and as long as they're in 16-bit, then they'll be fine.

Duh. It's fucking awful. Exactly. Causing immense clipping. That's right. Those areas still have no detail, but they're now dark grey, not black any more. It won't affect printing. It'll print as it appears. No, that is absolutely the point. Intentional clipping is almost always part of the matte effect.

Well, we can make yours work for that style, except of course your daughter's face needed to be lit, not in shadow, for it to work perfectly.

Hi @RxB, the next time you upgrade your computer it's likely that your Spyder4 just won't work on it. But for now, if your Spyder4 is still giving you a satisfactory screen-to-print match, there is no need to upgrade. Is it? Giving you a satisfactory screen-to-print match, I mean?

C'mon Gaby, you already know the answer to this, and I don't know why you thought you'd hear any different from me. YOU CANNOT EDIT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

Take 'em back.
