  1. Always Jpeg. Never PNG. You have to start over completely. Getting the logo the correct size is a crucial first step of the whole process.
  2. Whoa, hang on! Don't do it until the raw editing is done!!!!
  3. We always talk glibly about "removing something from the background", but of course that's not really what we're doing at all, is it? We're putting something else IN to the background. I'm sure you can find another photo in the set where that tree is visible without the person in front of it? And you can swap it in?
  4. Sorry mate, this is out of my league. I love what you chose for these photos; and I can't think of anything better.
  5. Are you talking about nonsense like this?
  6. I beg you to take advantage of the March Special: https://www.facebook.com/damien.photoshop/posts/2160114267370296
  7. Have you read the very last module of the Bridge Class yet? This is all spelled out very clearly there.
  8. Oh yes, very wrong. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/02/trash-those-jpegs.html
  9. Sure, go for it. If it's not the same photo, start a new thread.
  10. I'm glad you like it. Let me know how you go reproducing it. To be honest, I probably didn't need to do the gradient for the floor. It should have been easy enough just to clone it.
  11. No, it's powered by its USB connection, so nothing to worry about there. While you're waiting for it to arrive, make sure you get your pro lab prints ready. https://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_starthere.html And when it arrives, calibrate using these instructions: https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration.html
  12. No, you just don't let the new backdrop go onto that area. You only need to replace the edges, don't you?
  13. The shadow of her body, do you mean?
  14. May I see the photo without the crop?

  16. Calibration needs to be done once a month. It is NOT more cost-effective to have somebody else do it.
  17. Just to mention something which I'm sure you already know ... when you're preparing the file for print, make sure you flatten the layers before cropping and sharpening.
  18. No. This is just an issue with your screen, not the file. Your file is fine, and should print fine too. In some cases it can, but not the way you've done it here. You've done it nice and safely.
  19. Also, why is this photo such a weird shape? Have you cropped?
  20. May I also see a screenshot? So I can see your layers panel and stuff?
  21. No. Once you change it it should stay changed, until Adobe push through the next update (stoopid Adobe). But there are two caveats to this. When you change it, you must only have one photo open, and after you change it, you must press "Done" or "Open", not "Cancel", at the bottom right of ACR.
  22. Down the bottom, in the middle. Click on that link to fix it. The Raw Class takes you through this. I've just added you.
