May I have more info? How do you know it's not working?

Please don't say that. You've made an excellent start - much better than some other people.

How did you go, @SWhit?

Too boastful?

Search my articles for "patch tool".

That's great news.

Does it look ok?

Windows shouldn't really enter into it. You should be viewing them in, and opening them from, Bridge. PLEASE don't wait too long to take the Bridge Class. It's only $10, and packed full of really important info. Now that you can open them, the first step is to zoom in to 100% on one of them in ACR, and make sure the image quality is ok. There's a known issue where some DNG files don't work in older ACR, they have a weird grid pattern when viewed up close.

Something is wrong here. They should convert with exactly the same names as their corresponding CR2 files.

What do you think of it, @sla453?

Just do exactly what I typed. Although now that you've changed the photo, 30% layer opacity might be too high.

Ok, great! Then yes, you can do some more colour boosting on your RGB master file if it pleases you. But of course, do exactly what you said and watch the CMYK conversion very carefully for "dying" colours.

Gosh! So you've never seen this screen? http://www.tipsquirrel.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/SFW-03_thumb.jpg

His workflow is fine, but this business about needing a PSD or TIFF is nonsense. Tell him your Jpeg file is absolutely fine. Now, please answer this question:

Yes, that's right. Then after you hit "Save", another little window pops up, where you choose the quality.

If you pull down "Untitled" at the top, it should be in that menu? Regarding your photo, try this and see how it looks. It looks fine when I try it, but I'm only working with a web-size image, so you'll need to examine your file very closely. A Channel Mixer layer on "Difference" blend mode at about 30% opacity, with these settings: R 0, 0, +100, 0 G 0, 0, +70, 0 B 0, 0, +30, 0 See what you think.

Great!!! And your Photoshop Color Settings are on "North America General Purpose 2" the way they should be?

No, Photoshop's Color Settings don't dictate the profile of your images. That comes from the raw processing.

Yes, but how did it happen? Have you ensured it won't happen again?

What happened?

Did that happen when you converted it to CMYK? Whaaat? Gosh, are you sure?

After the CMYK conversion.
