  1. That's unfortunate, but not the end of the world. I think this must be a website issue? I'm sure the logo in Photoshop is bigger than on the website?
  2. Who created the logo, and what file formats do you have it in?
  3. Link updated.
  4. Yeah, the "Automatic" setting is a dog. Make sure you change it. Maybe it was this? https://www.facebook.com/groups/askdamien/posts/3170551753005003/ Much more detailed info in the Layers & Masks Class of course.
  5. https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html
  6. I'm so sorry Roxy, I've got nothing.
  7. Gosh no. It's a throwback to the Spyder Express, or even the awful ColorMunki Smile. There's a reason those were discontinued.
  8. I don't think you can install PS and Bridge without installing Creative Cloud first.
  9. This black screen thing is the key to it: Add a Levels adjustment layer, then choose the little black eyedropper in the levels panel, and click on that screen to force it to be black. (This will make the whole photo crazy black) Then invert the mask. Then use a big 10% white brush to broadly paint over the hazy area, to apply a gentle amount of the blackness that you need.
  10. @Samantha Vivenzio have you tried soft-proofing yet? What did you discover?
  11. lol, no, the one without the light stand is BIGGER. Never crop AT ALL. Period. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/09/cropping-tutorial.html
  12. Well, I updated to it, and it's been okay for me so far.
  13. Flick between the two, and see the different crop.
  14. I gave you very precise numbers based on the exact image you'd given me. This one: But the image you applied my numbers to was different. A different crop, and a different edit. That's why my numbers didn't work for you.
  15. This is a different version of the photo than you posted for me before?
  16. I assume a combination of channel mixer and https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/01/ridding-pesky-rainbows.html
  17. I'd say the flare can be fixed. Her face can be improved, but I doubt the haze can be removed altogether.
  18. I found this thread: https://www.facebook.com/groups/askdamien/posts/3761344393925733/
  19. Soft-proofing is explained here: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/03/bit-about-soft-proofing.html But as I said, you can't do it yet, because you haven't calibrated. So I urge you to put it out of your mind for now.
  20. Yes. HELL NO. Your files must always remain in sRGB. Semi-gloss. Sometimes also called Lustre. Oh, this is SO regrettable If you use this lab, and are successful in calibrating your screen to match their prints, you need to accept that your online photos will look too blue to everyone else. This is not the greatest tragedy in the world, but it's not ideal. Soft-proofing can only be done AFTER you are successfully calibrated. You must ignore this part for now.
  21. From Bridge there are two ways to open a raw file. One is Ctrl O, the other is Ctrl R. Have you tried both?
  22. First, crop to your liking with NOTHING in the options bar. Then open the Image Size window, make sure the "Resample" checkbox is checked, and the units are set to pixels, then literally replace the largest value with 3000.
