That article references the X-Rite i1Display Pro, which is the big brother of your ColorMunki. Yes, it's better, but there's no reason why your Munki can't do a good job. Put that article out of your mind. Can you clarify this? It's critically important. Are you saying that your calibrated screen matches all your prints, except for the ones that you edit using the new techniques?

White Balance
Damien Symonds replied to fotographer.nz's topic in Photoshop / Elements / Bridge / ACR questions or problems
No, of course not. In this case, you would drag across the white and first two grey bars all together. -
White Balance

You don't click, you drag. If your version of ACR allows it. -
Ah, crap. Well, it means you'll need to work in much brighter room light (while the screen is at its very lowest brightness setting) to achieve a visual match. Can you increase the brightness of your room lighting? And it also means you have very feeble basis to complain about this recent collage print. If you can't honestly claim that your previous prints match your screen, it's going to be a hard argument to mount. However, you should still contact them, of course, and see what they say.

It can't be fixed, sorry. Just very carefully clone it out.

This is something I don't know anything about. Is it a template made by your lab? Or is it some kind of generic template that can be used by anybody for any lab? I guess it goes without saying that there is always risk when using somebody else's template. Well, go ahead and recalibrate your screen with lower brightness to match those prints. For now, continue to ignore the collage, just concentrate on matching those prints.

Remind me which Spyder you have? Lots of people get confused by this. No, it's correct. In raw, the numbers are compensatory. As the temperature number gets higher and cooler in real life, the raw number gets higher and warmer to balance it. I hope this makes sense. For now, ignore the black-and-white one. You need a lot more than just one colour photo. Really? Surely you have others lying around?

Eye-One Match 3 Installler not supported
Damien Symonds replied to janaeb's topic in The Macintosh User Group
Yeah, gosh, that software stopped being supported about a million years ago. What calibrator do you have? -
First, this Levels layer: R 39/1.08/178 G 28/1.09/162 B 13/1.05/174 Masked carefully to the glasses. And maybe masked partially back off the glare parts. Then add a Solid Color layer and clip it to the Levels layer. Set its blend mode to "Hue", and choose a skin colour. I used R214/G171/B146. Then lower the opacity to your taste (I didn't lower mine very much).

Any improvement? Hang on. You said you'd "reset Essentials". That is nowhere near the same as resetting preferences. Did you follow the link I just gave? -
Spyder Pro Reminder
Damien Symonds replied to SteveG's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
*sigh* This is a known glitch. It's not just you (if that's any consolation). It's a hassle, but you might need to do this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/10/how-to-properly-re-install-spyder.html -

Yeah, well, you probably should ask him to undo that shit. But first, you should try resetting Photoshop's preferences. https://seventrumpet.com/how-to-reset-photoshop-to-default-settings/
