No, this is really really bad. You NEVER change your monitor profile. And you definitely don't calibrate to Rec-709, any more than you calibrate to sRGB or Adobe RGB for photography. Rec-709 is a working space, not a monitor profile. No wonder you're having problems.

By Alt-clicking on the eye of that layer, of course. To turn off all the other layers.

Seems like your old computer is falling apart. Better budget for a new one.

If photos in Photoshop look fine compared to their prints, then we can rule out a calibration problem, and start to look elsewhere for the issue. Please confirm this.

You're missing the point. You need to make sure your calibration has worked properly, and not screwed up your screen. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD YOU CHECK YOUR CALIBRATION AGAINST PRINTS?

PLEASE check your calibration against prints.

Then you didn't follow my tutorial, did you? It's right there at the beginning in a big unmissable red box. It doesn't matter if you're not a photographer. You still need prints to confirm calibration.

No, I don't, sorry.

Of course. Multiple source points are so important.

Hi @Pmars, did you confirm the accuracy of the calibration against photo prints?

Lightroom would be fine too.

Well, if the screen isn't calibrated, it kinda doesn't matter which viewer they use If you can get them to calibrate the screen, then use Bridge to view, they'll be sweet.

@Kate00?

Let me know how you go with it.

I added a Channel Mixer layer, with these settings: Then I put the layer on "Multiply" blend mode, and inverted the mask to hide it. Then painted on to the lashes gently with a 10% brush.

I reckon the problem is the lightness of the lashes. What do you think of this?

Oh, thank you!

Is this a genuine 100% crop? Could you take it again, like this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

Damn. Then yeah, maybe a reinstall is the answer What a bummer.

Is it doing this with every single photo you try? Old and new?

Can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html By the way, where are the files saved? On an internal hard drive, or an external?

That's weird. When you re-open the raw file, are your adjustments still there?

Got it, thanks. I can't wait to see lots and lots of your full raw edits in the Deluxe Posting Area.

Awesome, I've just emailed you.

Crap, that's very weird. Yeah, you might need to reinstall Photoshop, I'm afraid.
