  1. Is it doing this with every photo you try? Old and new?

  3. There is no need to EVER have the histogram panel open. Ever.
  4. Great! Then everything sounds exactly right. Just concentrate on freeing up your drive.
  5. Do you have all the files in the same folder? If so, what is the size of the folder on your hard drive?
  6. Look again. Mine isn't the Histogram panel, is it?

  8. Are they all black-and-white jpeg files you're placing?
  9. This is still very very very very very very very very bad. You're darned lucky your computer even starts up properly. Brian says you should have at least 1/3rd of your C drive free. You MUST start clearing up space. Don't do any other editing until you have done so. You're in very dangerous territory. This is better, but still not the 1/3rd that Brian recommends. Do you literally mean Place?
  10. Hi Ginger, yeah, you only need to calibrate the one you edit on. It's CRITICALLY important that you set your Displays settings to "Extend" not "Duplicate". Is that how you have it set up?
  11. Sorry I'm late - we were at a Christmas party. Did you figure it out?
  12. Please don't worry about this in the meantime. Monitor calibration isn't valid unless you're doing it with prints in hand, so we can't know what's going on. Just chill out and drink wine for a couple of days until the prints arrive. Did you follow my instructions here?
  13. No, you don't need new prints. Your old prints are fine - do you have any lying around?
  14. Yep, that's fine. Finder isn't colour-managed, you see. It's perfectly normal (though annoying, I agree.) All that matters is that Photoshop matches your pro lab prints. Does it?
  15. This is very very very very very very very very very very bad. NEVER use your monitor profile as an image colour space. Only ever use sRGB.
  16. Great! So just do exactly what it says. Choose your Crop Tool, enter 40 and 50mm in the Width and Height fields, and 200 in the Resolution field, and crop, then sharpen. That's all there is to it. Make sure, when viewing it after the crop, you don't zoom further in than 100%. It sounds like you must have been doing so.
  17. Great! And anything about "distance from tip of head to top of image" or anything like that?
  18. Oh, this is a great question. What exact specifications have you been given for the image?
  19. Something is wrong here. Can you check these figures again? Let's start with this. Run this program: https://www.glarysoft.com/

  21. I did some searching on other sites, and yes, it doesn't look like that ASUS has an IPS screen. Pity, because the IPS screens in ASUS laptops which do have them are amazing. I love mine. It calibrates so beautifully.
  22. When you have the list of resolutions, you should see that one is "recommended":
