It's a tricky tool all right, but yeah, I think this looks fine.

Well, can't you use Edit>Transform>Distort, and pull up the bottom right corner?

It's great!

Come on, you HAVE to get yourself a calibrator. If you spend money on a screen before a calibrator I'm going to so damn angry.

This (the bolded part) is a BIG problem. Coupled with this ... ... I am SO damn worried right now. A colourful screen is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, a lot of times it's a very bad thing. Have you compared your two screens to pro lab prints?

Phew! *wipes brow* You need to look up the specs of your laptop's graphics card, to see what is the highest resolution monitor it can support. I've no particular reason to think it would have any problems, but it sure would be a nasty shock to buy a new super-duper-high resolution screen then find out your lappy couldn't handle it. Unfortunately (to preempt your next question) I don't know how you'd find that out. Google, I guess. No, we can't necessarily assume that. If your laptop's graphics card is good enough, it'll support higher resolutions than the native monitor, I think. But yeah, check.

Never ever ever ever mirror. Under any circumstances. You're not mirroring in your current setup, are you?

Well duh. You're cropping to a size of two and a half pixels by three and a half pixels. Plus you've got "Delete Cropped Pixels" unchecked. This is VERY bad. That must always be checked.

You missed a bit of wall, though, under the thigh and in the elbow gap of the lady on the left.

Gosh Sue, this looks really impressive. Well done.

In answer to your question, yes, but to a VERY limited degree.

Let's see some of the photos.

It worries me that you're shooting jpeg. You're limiting yourself so much. Don't do that.

Three good ones is fine. Don't include this one.

Yeah, ouch, that motion blur Is this the best and only one you have?

Very stupid, yes. The inch figure is completely meaningless. Only the pixel dimensions matter, and you'll find they are exactly the same. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_resolution.html

Margaret?

Please tell me I'm making sense?

Regardless of orientation, if you know what I mean. 2048 high for portrait images, or 2048 wide for landscape images.

No, it's 2048 for the longest edge.

Have we meandered from the original topic? When you first posted this question, you weren't talking about web images, were you?

No, this is CATASTROPHICALLY bad. 3000 is NOT Facebook size. The maximum Facebook size is 2048. This is the action to use. Delete the dangerous Tole one immediately.

The hell they were. That's no web-ready size I've ever seen. Something is badly wrong here.

Sorry, I can't answer class-related questions outside of class. PLEASE don't wait any longer, they will change your life. https://www.damiensymonds.net/training.html
