Oh yes, it will help. But it's only helping the lesser of your two issues, I fear

I don't know what to tell you, sorry It's so weird, I would have thought that twelve 60W bulbs in a small room would have been enough.

I'm not aware that they'd behave any differently, no. Raw data is raw data. I wonder if the dynamic range will be smaller too?

How did it go on the full-size file?

How are your prints going, @OTOSPhotos?

Whatever happened with this, @funlovephotography?

@Summer Michelle?

Did this problem ever occur again, Sarah?

@Monique Graham?

How are your photos turning out, @Ange?

Did you try it, @Diana?

@nchilders87?

How did it go?

@Hama Photography?

@Patricia?

None of the linked ones are brighter than that And I doubt it's possible to find brighter ones

Did you follow my instructions here? I have a bit about "monthly recalibration" right at the very bottom.

No, not exactly. You wouldn't make a copy of the file to edit. You'd simply make sure you had the jpeg file (that you sent to the lab) safely stored in a folder somewhere. Then you can start editing your raw file again as you always would. You definitely wouldn't have two copies of the raw file, nor of your PSD. Right.

I think you said you have a Spyder5Pro, is that right?

Did you ever find a link to the exact bulbs you already have in the room? I'd be very interested to see that.

That's right.

Well, personally I guess I've always thought of "moody" as "dark and undersaturated". This is the former, but certainly not the latter. But hey, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Those two links are very different, and neither are entirely suitable for your photo, but I had a play with the first one, what do you think?
