@Patricia?

It's not easy, I know. How did you go?

Hi Miriam, This is an excellent device. A must-have for every photographer. Yes, that's right. That's one of the functions a calibrator provides. This is likely to be a different issue. I need you to go to this link for me, and follow it all the way to its conclusion.

Hi Perli, 59cd/m2 sure is low. Are you sure the light in your room is bright enough?

Well, they literally don't represent the channel clipping. Don't worry about it for now. Get stuck into the Raw Class, where you'll see how they're supposed to work.

Did you fix your abominable brickwork? Because you canNOT let that fly.

Hi Jenny, any upgrade from the ol' S3E will make you happy Basically, it comes down to what I said in this article - how closely (or not) does your screen match your prints in its uncalibrated state?

I guess I should have asked, first, to see a screenshot of your layers panel. If the above doesn't seem to work for you, post the screenshot for me.

These layers will go under your pixel layers, immediately above the Background layer. First, a Channel Mixer layer, with "Monochrome" checked, at 0, 0, +100, 0. This will make the whole carpet and bricks and dress grey. You can include bricks and dress in your selection. Then, clip a Levels layer to the Channel Mixer layer: R 0, 1.00, 255 and 185, 230 G 0, 1.00, 255 and 55/245

May I see the original photos for context?

You're welcome. PLEASE try Bridge for 30 days.

Somewhere like this: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

Bridge has all the same batching power, trust me. It rocks. Maybe, but maybe not. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs2.html

This is what happens when you complicate your workflow with stupid Lightroom. PLEASE give me 30 days to change your life: https://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge

Yes, see? It's ProPhoto RGB. Open it in Photoshop and you'll see.

Ok, that's good news! Can you post a couple of the photos here? One that printed well, and one that didn't?

Hi Elizabeth, ROES isn't colour-managed, so some difference will always be evident. However, if it's more difference than you're used to, that's certainly worth investigating. First things first, can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

This one is the one, yes.

Feeling a bit woozy from the anaesthetic, but doing ok, thanks. This one? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_vista.html

Yeah, it's just one of those glitches. Happens to everyone from time to time.

PLEASE don't wait any longer to check out the bonus module of the Sharpening Class. It doesn't cost you any extra, and it's really important stuff. And I hope you'll consider the Channel Mixer class, it's great fun.

If people ever ask me: "I already own Photoshop CS5/CS6, should I upgrade to CC?" I always shout "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I tell them that they shouldn't start paying a monthly fee for something they already own outright. But in your case, no, I wouldn't take a step backwards.
