Hang on, that looks lighter. Sorry, I meant her throat needs some shadow.

I can't really see any difference, sorry.

Maybe it needs some on the throat too.

Now spread it more gently. So it goes a bit further around the face, but gently.

Yes, that's better, but it's too strong on the side of the face, I think.

It looks like you've done it with either the Lightness slider in Hue/Sat, or the white Output slider in levels. I think a normal middle slider adjustment in levels would be better.

I think it's nice!

Oh crap, sorry! One more thing I did, I remember now. I clipped a Hue/Saturation layer to each of the "DODGE" and "BURN" layers, with the Saturation slider at +30 on the Master channel on each of those layers. Then yeah, just paint as you see fit. Of course paint on the "Burn" layer where you want to darken, and the "Dodge" layer where you want to lighten. This is what mine looked like:

You've got two layers named "BURN" One of those should be "DODGE". But as long as the blend modes are correct, that's cool. Just change the name and you're ready to begin painting.

This will inevitably involve some trial-and-error, you know? You can try uploading at various sizes, and at various levels of sharpening, then view your site on various computers and devices.

I would sharpen for web. And fairly strongly too. It can't do any harm.

Well, I assume it means 3000 on the longest side (height or width, depending on the orientation). That's what watermarking is for.

Gee, I wouldn't make 'em bigger than 3000px.

Well, hopefully WIX will have an FAQ about this somewhere?

Great.

Not quite perfect, but definitely good enough.

Great.

Excellent.

Ok ... that should be useful. How do your prints compare by their light during the day?

Are you near any windows?

Well, let's not beat around the bush. You were pretty stupid to create this file at 2x3 inches. You're damn lucky.

Of course not! Calm down. Just crop it to 8x10 in the usual way (DON'T flatten first!!!!) then sharpen per the sharpening class instructions for storyboards.

No no, not at all. Your file, as long as you've done everything properly, is infinitely resizable. By "properly" I mean all the shapes are vectors (paths), and the images are placed as smart objects. So, back to the question - you must have been looking at greater than 100% view, right? That's why you thought the photos were pixelated?

They shouldn't look pixelated at 100% view. That's an oddly small size. Is this for a place card or something?

What's looking pixelated? The photos?
