Hi Gera, have you read this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_facebook.html Are you uploading to a biz page?

How did you go?

Your screen DOESN'T look funny. If it's similar to your print, it's correct.

Oh. So it's no longer close to your prints?

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.

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?

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.

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.

Remember this? You said the yellow and green don't print like they appear on your screen in this image, isn't that right?

Gosh yes.

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.

No, if you want it lighter, use a lighter gradient in that area.

This is old, but is it still relevant? http://www.designeasy.co/2016/02/fix-missing-tools-in-photoshop-cc-2015.html

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?

Hi Stacey, remind me which version of PS?

Yep, that seems better.

As usual, it's this method. Download PSD

How about this?

You're welcome. Post any time.

How about this? I'm not fond of the bottom right-hand corner. Really it should have baseboard there.

Right there, in Camera Raw. You click on that link at the bottom of ACR to change the colour space to sRGB the way it should be. That's right. It's genuinely raw data. Your setting in ACR dictates the colour space. No, preference doesn't come into it. The colour space MUST be set to sRGB.

Brisbane.

Good. The backdrop is fixed, as usual, with this method. Download PSD

That's right, it's not in Photoshop. He has to send you the specific file for his printer. This is very common. All the good labs in America, and here in Australia, provide this file to their clients as a matter of course.
