Try this Channel Mixer layer and see what you think: R +100, 0, 0, +3 G +106, 0, 0, -6 B +115, 0, 0, -10

I've moved this post into AD, since it's not a class question.

How did you go?

I'm not sure, sorry.

Is this relevant? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/08/simple-but-important-reminder.html

That's good news. So any time you see a problem, have you closed it, then opened the raw file again ... is it still there?

Should be just middle slider and black output slider?

Please try not to edit on externals. That's fraught with risk. Externals are only for backup and long-term storage. Were you cropping when these ones had their problems too? Or were you doing something else?

That all sounds good. After this happened, did you immediately close the file, then open it again to see if the same thing happened?

Can you do this for us? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

Go for it!

No problem, thanks for asking. Just updated the link.

The you are VERY lucky if a bit of white balance tool mischief is your only problem. You're bloody lucky your computer even starts up.

Do you mean 432GB used out of 465GB? Rather than free?

I'm not optimistic about that, sorry. I still think cloning is the way to go. But yes,you'll have to be careful to vary your source point frequently, to avoid obvious repetition.

I have no specific knowledge of this one, sorry. Can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

https://www.damiensymonds.net/2014/03/how-aggressively-can-i-crop.html You're right, of course. That's only barely big enough for a 6x4 print.

I'm pretty sure the text thing should be ok to leave on.

Hi, I've moved your post into @Brian's section, because he's the guru for camera-related stuff. He'll be along shortly. I imagine it will help him if you can tell him all the specs of this shot - ISO, shutter speed and so on. In fact, it might be even better if you can show him a screenshot of those details from Lightroom.

If you do finally get it, you're finally ready for this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/client-photoshop

What do you mean, thanks? What did you think I'd been trying to explain to you for the last three hours? Do you get it now?

No, 11:15 with resolution blank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't say "4x6" and "8x12". They are sizes, not ratios. The ratio is 2:3, and that is what's important. Importantly bad, in this case. No. You definitely must not make them smaller. Don't impose the 300ppi resolution. Leave the resolution blank, this is SO important.
