No, absolutely not, I promise. It's very safe. Wonderful! Brian talked about the desktop thing at the bottom of this thread.

8GB of RAM is the bare minimum that Adobe recommends for running CC. You should be ok, but be aware that you won't be able to open too many photos into Photoshop or ACR at one time, or you'll find it starts to run slowly. For a computer of that age, you definitely should run a cleanup program. This one is widely recommended. Sorry to hear about your in-laws' health. Have you had a chance to do any shooting lately? If so, have you avoided putting the photos in Aperture, and instead browsed them with Bridge?

And? Which screen is a better match for your prints?

How did it go, @cathm?

Did you follow my exact calibration instructions? Remember there are different sets of instructions for your two different screens.

Yes. Your computer is smart enough to know when you plug it back in again, and it will remember that it is calibrated. Does that make sense? This is a really really really really really REALLY FUCKING BAD IDEA. Please read the very last paragraph in this article. You should have chosen two different names for the two different calibrations, yes. Do you remember what they were?

Holy crap!!!!!! https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/17263-scanner01/ It's astonishing that your computer even starts up. Also, this one: https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/22347-glary01/

I just woke up. Give me a few minutes to take a look at your screenshot.

That's just because you've been lucky up til now.

Yep, you'll learn about that at the beginning of the Layers & Masks Class. Let's not be hasty Finish the Bridge Class first.

PLEASE stop relying on other people's skills for your editing. https://www.damiensymonds.net/trainingraw.html

Now hold on. That's not a job for presets. That's a job for good clean processing. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/09/what-is-clean-processing.html

Hi @zlm, That depends if they include data pertaining to functions which only exist in CC. There aren't many such functions, but you might get stung all the same. Honestly, don't waste your time with presets. Just post here so I can help you do it yourself.

Thanks, I just emailed you.

Wonderful! So you're ready to start the Raw Class now? Actually, I'd recommend starting with the Bridge Class first. It's only ten dollars, and gives you an excellent basis for the rest of your workflow.

Did you restart Photoshop after you changed the setting?

Which screen gives you a better print match?

In Photoshop go to Preferences>Performance, and uncheck the box that says "Use Graphics Processor". (I think that's what it's called.)

What did you end up getting, @Dianna Cameron?

I urge you to consider the Bridge Class. It's only ten dollars, and it's packed full of really important info.

Not strange at all. Very common, actually. It's why I never let Bridge (or any other program) get photos from the card for me.

Take Bridge out of the equation for a moment. How about plain old copy and paste from card to computer?

So ... why had you begun using "Export" somewhere along the way?

Please @Chris Majoroff?
