Yes, this doesn't look too severe. We can certainly fix it. Go ahead and do your raw processing (don't forget to fix the colour space) then post the photo again, and we'll discuss the flare fix.

When you hit the F key a few times, did you see the Photoshop interface change each time?

@Glynda horsfall?

You'll find this VERY useful: https://www.damiensymonds.net/wonderful-scanner-app-windows.html

No, they'll be in tabs across the top. Try it and you'll see. Yes, but that's not the most efficient way to do so. We can work slicker than that. Can you tell me what the action does?

No, here, on this page! Scroll up to the top, see the "askquestions" button?

In the Classes section, exactly as I said. Go to "Home" (or click on the "askquestions" logo at the top of the page, then scroll down to the Classes section.

Did you find the Table of Contents?

I've just emailed you. The class will explain this.

Hi Robyn, may I have some more information? What script is it? What's stopping you from culling?

It can't hurt to try, that's for sure.

DON'T FLATTEN! Everything you describe is absolutely right, except the flattening bit. You'd keep that layer.

I'm not sure which company you mean. If you call either Apple or Datacolor they're likely to blame the equipment of the other. But yes, try calling Datacolor.

Yay! Most importantly, are you running Bridge as well?

No, this can't possibly be right. Please check again.

Well, I think it's just age. But I'd love to rule out an actual system problem. If we could connect the desktop screen to the Macbook and calibrate it correctly, we'd know that the Mac's operating system can handle the calibration just fine, and it would narrow down the problem to the Macbook screen itself.

Alternatively, you can consider upgrading your calibrator, I guess, to see if a newer one will work better on the Macbook screen. But since it's an older screen, I don't think a newer calibrator will help, to be honest.

Luckily they're not very expensive. You'll need a DVI to DisplayPort, or DVI to Mini DisplayPort, depending what your Macbook has. DVI to DisplayPort DVI to Mini DisplayPort

It could be a simple workspace problem, or it cold be a worse glitch. Let's rule out the important stuff first. Please do this for me. Then, with no photos open in Photoshop at all, go to Window>Workspace>Reset Workspace. Then restart Photoshop, and see if the behaviour has changed.

You're welcome. Have you read through the Bridge Class yet?

It sounds like you're as close as you're going to get. From now on, just monitor it as you get new sets of prints.

You've pressed Ctrl Y by accident. Just press it again. Don't worry, it hasn't done any harm to your photos at all.

If we can get a feel for the percentage, we can make a decision about what to do with the calibration. If it's about 50/50, you might decide to recalibrate the screen a bit warmer, so it's about halfway between the two lots of prints. Whereas if it's more like 75% screen-to-print match, and only 25% where the screen is a little too cool, you might decide to recalibrate the screen only a tiny bit warmer.
