Please read the posting guidelines. I need an example link.

Ok, well, go ahead and restart the computer and see if the problem persists. Also, is it only doing this with raw files? What about PSDs or jpegs?

Can you elaborate on this? What happens (or doesn't happen) exactly? Also, please do this for me: https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

@Aubrey?

Yeah, I think this will be ok.

Good!

Yep, this'll be ok.

Can you show me a screenshot of the message? Then can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

I've been using Liquify for years without graphics processor turned on. What happens when you try to use Liquify with it turned off? Do you get an error message of some sort?

Perfect! Begin by adding a Channel Mixer layer, checking the "Monochrome" box, then entering 0, 0, +100, 0 for the four values. Then post in the Levels Class for me so we can discuss it from there.

This can't be "fixed" in any usual way. You'll need to find another photo of his face to do an eye swap if possible.

I'll need to see it close up.

Raw Class next. https://www.facebook.com/groups/195567190503489/permalink/2214850475241807/

Make it easy for yourself. Shoot them as actual silhouettes. Like, against a bright window or whatever.

Yes, you'll learn about those thing in the Raw Class and the Skin Class respectively. Have you seen this offer?

Yep, that's better, thanks. Now, can you tell me what areas are troubling you?

You have to move this window over So that it's not under the device.

It's because you have the brightness window sitting underneath the device, of course.

Hi @Daria, just fyi, your photo is untagged. This is REALLY bad. Whenever you're saving photos, for any purpose, make sure the profile is embedded. So just to be safe, do you mind re-saving and re-posting this photo, so I can be sure I'm seeing its colours correctly?

Ok, run this action on a landscape image and tell me what you think of it: Download Action

Darn it, would you answer the question? It might be the difference between being able to achieve this hare-brained scheme, or not. The little "bite" out of the mask in the top right corner - is it important?

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. I still don't understand why you wasted so much of our time with that Gradient Map nonsense. Now, please address this question:

That's a layer of colour on Linear blend mode. Is that how you'd use it if we can work out how to automate it? A layer of colour on a blend mode?

This one, do you mean?

How important is the little missing piece at the top right corner?
