Try this. Add a Levels layer: RGB 0/0.50/255 and 10/255 Green 0/0.95/255 Blue 0/0.90/255 Then duplicate that Levels layer. Change the second one to Luminosity mode. Now you have two Levels layers which are identical, except one is Normal mode and one is Luminosity mode, are you with me so far? Change the "Normal" one to 30% opacity, and the "Luminosity" one to 70% opacity. (Or another variation adding up to 100% to your taste). See what you think. -

Then I don't know, I'm so sorry. I use Firefox too, and I just tried Edge, and your portrait ones look fine on both. Smaller, obviously, than the landscape ones, but definitely not blurry or grainy. Have other people told you that your photos look this way to them? -

Damien Symonds replied to fjdelatte's topic in Questions about tutorials and articles
Ok, interesting. Can you tell me which web browser you use? The reason I ask is, because our computer screens are landscape, portrait photos need to be resized more aggressively to fit on screen. And some web browsers are better than others at on-the-fly image resizing, you see. So I'm wondering if that's the reason you're seeing a problem on your screen, when I, as I browse your FB photos, can't see a problem on mine. -

Can you tell me where you're viewing your Facebook photos? On your computer, tablet, phone, or all three? -

Hi Joan, just to check, have you read this one? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_facebook.html -
removing watermark... for a good cause
Damien Symonds replied to diamante67's topic in Help with editing
Ok! Do you have that font in your Photoshop? I have Myriad Pro, and it's close, but not quite exact. -

Maybe you can just google what font LR uses for its watermark? -

Damien Symonds replied to diamante67's topic in Help with editing
I am pleased to hear that, yes. Do you still have LR installed? I'm interested to know if we can figure out what that font is. If we can type over the white text in black, exactly aligned, it will speed up the fix significantly. -

Are you there? -
Fantastic. Can you post one or two of those photos here in the thread? Also, can you test something for me? With one of the photos open in Photoshop, go to Edit>Assign profile, and assign the monitor profile to the image. Does it make it closer to the print, or further away? Or no change? Also, please confirm that your PS Color Settings are on "North America General Purpose 2". Anything else is catastrophic.

I have to go and pick up the kids from school now, and then take them to sport. I likely won't be back online for a few hours. When I check back in, I look forward to hearing how your calibrated screen (Photoshop, nothing else) compares to the prints. Please keep it really simple: "My screen is _________________________ [colder/warmer] than my prints" That's all I need to know.

You have been using the terms "RGB" and "Adobe RGB" and even "Adobe sRGB" interchangeably, so I feel justified in my efforts to clarification. Please understand that changing your images' colour space DOES NOT affect calibration. There is a problem here, but that is not it. That's ok, we just need to know how it calibrates with this new system. And yes, sorry I wasn't clear - for troubleshooting purposes, it must be the only monitor connected.
