Gee, that's pretty good, considering. I think you can get away with it, if you have none better.

No, I'd allow that much time for that many files on my computer, and it has twice as much RAM as yours.

I'm so sorry, I've got nothing

Sorry, I can't give feedback on editing outside of the Deluxe class.

All I can suggest is to add a Hue/Saturation layer. Don't touch the "Master" channel. On the Reds channel move the Saturation slider to -100. Then on all the remaining channels (Yellow thru Magenta) move their Lightness sliders to +100.

I'm sorry, I don't know of a way. Sometimes there's a Channel Mixer trick, but one doesn't present itself here.

Yes. ALL noise must be removed in raw.

No, just post it here please.

Sometimes 16-bit is very necessary ... but most of the time 8-bit is adequate. 16-bit is only necessary for photos that will require significant tonal adjustments in Photoshop. The most common of these is backlit hazy photos that need black balance, as you'll learn in the Advanced Levels Class (please don't wait too long). It's foolish to edit everything in 16-bit.

It's called "Large Document Format" in the file format list in the save dialog. In my version, it's the second option, right under PSD. Are you sure you don't have it? Why are you in 16-bit?

It should allow you to save as a PSB file, yes? I assume you're working in 16-bit?

Yes, the Graphics Processor was going to be my suggestion too. Can you do this for me?

Yes, definitely. Everything must be set to sRGB. That's weird. You mean it does absolutely nothing when you click the "Open Image" button?

I don't have a solution for this photo at all, sorry. The background behind the hair is just too varied. May I see a 100% crop of the area at the top of Dad's head?

I can't tell for sure at this size, but I suspect you forgot your noise removal.

What sort of templates are they, @Cindy?

If you're getting a good calibration (finally!) with your current calibrator, then no, I wouldn't bother upgrading.

Hooray!!!! Thanks for asking. Of course you can ask them wherever you find more convenient. But yeah, I'd prefer them on FB.

It might be possible to use Liquify to squash it down a little bit, at least.

I'm so sorry Dianna, I don't know.

Of course not perfect, but passable.

Great. The second answer to your question is to always make sure you embed the profile in the file, any time you save. Each save dialog, no matter which version of software you're using, will always have an "embed" or "include" checkbox.

Hi @Nems, have you done this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

If this is a client photo, you must delete it. If it's a personal photo, it's just passable, but don't attempt to print it big.

Hi @meris, can I just check that these are real crops from the photos, not screenshots? Screenshots aren't colour-managed, you see, so the colours would be inaccurate.
