Whoa. Danger! Danger! We'll get to the editing, I promise. But first we have to fix a CATASTROPHIC problem with your file. Please follow this troubleshooter all the way to its conclusion, then post your photo again.

Please let me help. Did you find some examples?

Control Panel > Autoplay I think, anyway.

Download PSD I hope this is sufficient.

Yep, I think we should be able to manage this easily enough. Of course we would never do Photoshop work before the raw processing is done, so go ahead and do your raw editing, then post the photo again.

I'm going to tag @Brian to step in for the camera part of the discussion.

Please stop trying to upload through Bridge. Just put the card in your computer, open the folder (go to "My computer" if the folder doesn't open automatically) then copy the files safely to the correct folder on your hard drive. Don't overcomplicate life.

Yes. a raf file is a Fuji raw file. That's exactly right. Sounds like you had the Fuji camera set to Raw+Jpeg? You'd better check its settings.

Hi Sue, when you put your card into the computer, does it open up as it should? I mean, the window opens up so you can see all your files on the card?

Did you check the Options Bar for your Marquee Tool? It looks like it might have a feather set.

Hi Stacey, may I see a screenshot showing the whole screen? Well, at least the layers panel. Oh, also, make sure you zoom in to 100% to see if the line is really there. Sometimes this occurs as a trick of zoom.

The nature of your question indicates that you didn't use the Shape Tool to make vector clipping masks the way you should have? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/12/simple-clipping-mask-and-storyboard.html If you had done so, you'd simply Ctrl T the shape layer and change its size/shape to your heart's content.

Hi Melissa, may I see a 100% crop? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

Oh, don't worry about that. You'll get used to it very fast, and very soon you'll be wondering how you ever tolerated it so bright before.

Oh, fabulous.

Ah, I wouldn't worry about that too much.

That's great news. And have you followed the troubleshooting part of my instructions?

Absolutely right. Have you followed the troubleshooting part of my instructions?

So is the "blacker blacks" problem fixed now? Just the colour problem remains?

As long as you share links to them, it's absolutely fine. Make sure it's a link to the page they're on, not directly to the image. We need to give credit to the owner.

Did you try it, @EB Photography?

Correct.

Right. Well, it doesn't have to be dark, per se. Dim will do.

ALWAYS edit in your bright room. I can't stress this enough. It's so important. Yes, if the prints are brighter than your screen, calibrate again with a higher brightness target.
