There's a faint possibility that this is just an unfortunate coincidence, rather than an M2 problem. Photoshop has a long-established habit of just losing its settings occasionally, for no reason. But you're right, it does seem more likely that it's an M2 thing. Just add it to the long list of "M2 things".

You might have a bit of trouble with those rich blue skies I guess.

Oh, sorry, red and purple.

A tiny bit of blue and red, I guess?

Can't you just clone it?

How much does it matter? Is there a chance you'll be cropping that area out later?

It's such an excellent function. If you can't get a good calibration with SpyderTune, then something else is wrong. Your room light, or the screen itself.

And have you done the SpyderTune part?

Which SpyderX do you have?

I have wondered that too.

That's absolutely correct, yes. Leave the size at default.

It's got to be a raw file. Sounds like you're choosing a jpeg?

Might be okay.

At this distance it works ... may I see it up close?

Oh heck. You could squash it down a little bit with liquify, I guess.

Oh wow, well done. Now commence your normal Levels work.

No. Do the glare first.

There are various approaches we could take. I think you should try this one first: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/04/the-handyman-method.html

@Cindy Young?

@Cindy Young I meant for you to provide the 100% crop here in this thread.

In the Premium Area, exactly where you were before.

Yes, but let's do the raw processing first. Post in class in the usual way.

You definitely did miss focus, but I agree with Brian. They are salvageable, just.

Hi @Sancurtis could you do this for Brian?

@BrittaneyRodriguez we can't judge focus like this. You need to show us 100% crops.
