I don't know where you got the -50 saturation thing from, sorry.

Oh, no, lots can. Curves and Brightness/Contrast can do it with their actual functions, or simply by leaving their functions untouched and changing their blend mode. And lots of others can do it with the blend mode. Exposure, Vibrance, Color Balance, Channel Mixer, Selective Color. The ones that can't are ones that automatically apply some change to the photo's appearance. Photo Filter and Black And White. Gradient Map can also do it, but it's a bit different.

Ok, so your screen is cooler than your prints. Follow the troubleshooting part of my calibration instructions with that in mind.

Ignore this. If you mention it again, I'm walking away from this thread. IT IS IRRELEVANT. This certainly does sound strange, but we'll come back to it later, once we've fixed the colour. Green is the exact opposite colour of pink. So if pictures are missing green, it means they're pink. So on that basis, it sounds like Photoshop matches your prints exactly. But clearly this isn't the case, so please explain this colour difference again.

Terrific. So, complete this sentence for me: "My screen is __________ (warmer/cooler) than my prints".

Yes, of course. That's what it's all about.

No, you did it wrong. Read my numbers again. The swirls WILL disappear.

Channel Mixer layer: R 0, +82, 0, 0 G 0, +100, 0, 0 B 0, +100, 0, +9 Today is the last day of the January Special, so I urge you to jump on board the Channel Mixer Class.

The first step is always to look at the problem. May I do so?

Since this colouring is not at all bad, I would just use a version of the Handyman method. Download PSD

Let me answer this one first. Windows Photo Viewer isn't colour-managed, so it will never be correct. Photoshop is the only one which is correct. Which calibrator did you buy? The X-Rite i1Display Pro that you were looking into?

Go to the View menu and choose "As Thumbnails". I think yours might have changed to "As Details". This is really bad. You're lucky that your computer even starts up, to be honest. You have to try to clear some space.

Are you editing this photo for somebody else?

@Sue Morris?

Did you try it?

How did you go?

Hi Haylee, may I see how it looked before adding the sky?

Yes, of course PS. But you're doing the right thing here. Do your raw processing first, then press "Open" to take the photo into Photoshop, and then start the editing.

How did you go, @Kendra? Did you move Bridge's cache to a different drive?

Oh, I hate it! Well done

I'd love to see!

Sorry, yes, the only change on the first layer is the blend mode. To add midtone contrast. That doesn't have to be a Hue/Sat layer, a Levels layer would have worked just as well.

Did you look at all of the colour channels? Pull down the "Master" menu.

Sorry, yes, I've updated the file now.

Well, 2GB is great, but still only a drop in the ocean, of course.
