  1. Well, it would be safest not to assume anything. It's possible they are saving as PNG, and if that's the case, then yes, 24-bit is essential. The other option is 8-bit, which will be very poor quality. What software do they have?
  2. Yes, definitely. Yes, perfect. All photos are 24-bit (well, most, anyway). What file format are they saving as?
  3. Yeah, this kind of thing has been discussed occasionally. https://www.facebook.com/groups/195567190503489/permalink/940282226031978/
  4. You know I can't discuss that here. Email me for the link to re-join the Skin Class.
  5. Alas, no, you can't use this one
  6. Bummer. It'll sharpen up passably, so use it if you have to. But yeah, it's not perfect.
  7. No, only the article/video that I already linked.
  8. Then you have to live with it, sorry. Just like the rest of us do.
  9. Hi Gera, have you read this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_facebook.html Are you uploading to a biz page?
  10. Your screen DOESN'T look funny. If it's similar to your print, it's correct.
  11. No, don't compare to other screens. ONLY to prints. A properly calibrated screen will always look different from most screens in the world, because most screens in the world are dreadful.
  12. Calibrating should be done in dim light for best results, but it doesn't have to be pitch black. But of course the editing, and comparison to prints, must be done in good bright light. This is all explained in my calibration instructions, so you've read it all already. Hmmm ... can you explain this a bit further?
  13. I'm really sorry, I know I'm giving you a series of answers you don't want to hear, but this is the honest truth. You need a lab which provides a soft-proofing profile.
  14. That's right. And that's because the green on your screen is unprintable. It's simply brighter than ink can reproduce. That Dell Ultrasharp screen is excellent. You'll love having more space to work on. If you can get it for a good price, go for it, you'll like it. But it won't help the way your greens print. Only a soft-proofing profile can do that.
  15. Remember this? You said the yellow and green don't print like they appear on your screen in this image, isn't that right?
  16. That is a very good screen. But it won't make ANY difference to this issue. Those yellows and greens on the file you showed me are unprintable.
  17. No, if you want it lighter, use a lighter gradient in that area.
  18. This is old, but is it still relevant? http://www.designeasy.co/2016/02/fix-missing-tools-in-photoshop-cc-2015.html
  19. I don't know the answer to this off the top of my head, sorry. Have ALL the tools expanded like this, or only this tool?
