Oh yeah!!! That's very flattering, well done.

It's so interesting that you happened to post this question today. I've just been testing two new screens, trying them out as replacements for the usual screen that I have attached to my laptop. Each time I've attached a new screen I've calibrated it. And each time I've re-attached a previously-attached screen, my computer automatically remembers that screen and applies its correct calibration profile. It's wonderful!

No, I promise, you don't need to do anything special at all. Just open the calibration software and immediately drag its window to the screen you wish to calibrate. It will know how to do the rest. Having said that, I strongly recommend installing the little program I explain in this article. It's a very good way to ensure that the correct profile is applied to each screen.

Excellent! Then yes, you're fine. Your computer can remember profiles for individual screens just fine. And yes, you definitely should calibrate the laptop screen.

Hi @eleanor15, it depends which Spyder you have? Can you tell me the model?

How's this?

Okey dokey. I have to go out for a while, and I'll help you out when I get back. In the meantime, please post some more white balance photos in class.

The very easiest method would involve changing it to pretty much the same cream colour as the fluffy rug. Would that be sufficient?

You can't allow the inner crease to move. Did you see on my file how it was only the larger lower crease that moved?

Well, it must have gone wrong at least one of the times. Can you take it again for me, to be sure?

Did you do this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

This must be a different photo? It's a different size.

Right. Did you try the Bridge Collections panel?

It'll need a bit of both - liquify and D&B - I figure. Download PSD

I think it looks great! She'll be very flattered by this fix.

How?

Yes, you can create collections in Bridge if you wish. There's a "Collections" panel. Why is it important?

No, this is a very very bad idea.

No. That would be incredibly inefficient. For now, leave your old sets in LR. For the time being just develop your new sets with Bridge.

How in God's name would you consider that the same, Rachelle? If I need a drink, I can walk to my fridge and get it. Or I can walk to the fridge via my bedroom and my mailbox. The latter would be a complete waste of time.

How did you go, @cathm?

Hi Cath, it's quite easy. Add a new blank layer, then use your eyedropper tool to sample some nice dark brown hair colour. Then add a Solid Color layer of that colour. Immediately change the blend mode of that layer to "Darken", then invert the mask to hide it. Then with a 5-10% white brush, gently paint it onto the grey areas.

Hi @shelleydiaz, I've moved your post into Brian's area, because he's the expert in these matters. He'll be along sometime soon.

Yes, alas, it's moire - the VERY worst kind. Where all of the channels are damaged. May I see a 100% crop from the SOOR, and also a screenshot of the raw Detail (noise) panel?
