No, of course not.

If you need a layer to be at exactly 40% opacity, you mask it at 100% then lower the layer opacity.

No, sorry mate, it doesn't work that way. You literally should NEVER be using a brush opacity of 40%. Show me what you're working on.

No, that's not what I meant. I'm talking about the "White Point Targets" section of the troubleshooting.

Ok, great! In that case, have you tried calibrating to different temperature targets, per the troubleshooting part of my instructions?

And can you put your hand on your heart and SWEAR that your room light isn't too yellow?

Is the screen still too cold compared to the prints?

So the screen now matches the prints in terms of brightness?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "stars". Is there no brightness slider in Display Preferences on your OS?

Are you saying that your screen's brightness is at 0?

It's in Module 3.

Of course.

It's just practice. Looking at lots and lots of photos.

It's not ideal, but if you're desperate to use it, it'll pass just.

While it's not perfect, it's passable.

Whoa, no, hang on. Of course you'd never send a TIFF or PSD to anybody else. TIFF and PSD are the format that you scan in, and save your master file. Then do your editing. Once you finish editing the masterpiece, and safely saved that TIFF or PSD, then you'd save a copy as jpeg for sending around. And no, NEVER png format.

Does your screen match your prints?

Then I'd say you're good to go.

Have you gone to that folder to see if the profile is there or not?

Hi @Kate00, I don't suppose you took a screenshot of the error?

Maybe you need to reset your workspace? Window>Workspace>Reset Then, customise one for yourself. https://www.damiensymonds.net/workspace-video

Oh yeah, that darn thing. Go to the Edit menu, and down to Preferences. Under the General tab, turn on the "Use Legacy" checkbox. https://pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com/basics/cc/2017/interface/legacy-new-document/use-legacy-new-document-interface.png Then restart Photoshop.
