Please stop asking the same question over and over. The answer is still the same. PLEASE show me an alternative belly button so I can help you swap it.

It will be a lot easier to replace the button. Surely you can find one?

No.

Interesting, thanks for letting me know.

Done.

Done.

Done.

Done.

Done.

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.
