How did you go with this, Karen?

How did you go with this problem, Cheryl?

Did you ever try this?

Did you find it?

How did you go?

Sarah?

How did you go, @Kendra?

Keep the raw posts coming!

Hopefully they'll be enough.

Ah, just crank up the Contrast a bit. (Make sure you put it back down before taking them to Photoshop, though!!!)

What did you do differently this time?

You'd need to check two things: 1. Can you still tap to deselect with other tools, such as the Marquee Tool? 2. When you use your mouse, can you click to deselect with the Patch Tool?

With which tool?

I don't know, sorry.

Ok ... I did laugh bit! Interesting. No chance of moving your computer to that end?

Yes, that's right, it's supposed to. Then you invert the mask and paint on the sleeve, exactly as you said. When I did it, the numbers were perfect. An exact match for the jacket colour.

The 5ft should be ample, I'd say.

Did you treble-check my numbers? To make sure you've got them exactly right?

No, the colour should have been exact. Check the numbers again.

Well, I figure you only need one at the end you're working at.

Don't dismiss that with a simple "besides the fact" ... it's critical that all the bulbs in the room are the same colour.

Your ipad is irrelevant, let's keep it out of the discussion. Now I'm back to needing clarification. Do your prints match Facebook ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Can you try this Channel Mixer layer? Red 0, 0, +48, +3 Green 0, 0, +72, 0 Blue 0, 0, +98, 0 If you'd asked me before you started, I would have advised adding that layer to the entire jacket. Now that you've already done some repairs, I'm not so sure. Just apply it to the troublesome sleeve for now.

Did you see what I did to it in the PSD?
