Hi Carly, do you mind sending me the raw file? https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/BellePhotography Just to check - you're not sharpening during editing, are you?

Correct. This is a common viewing glitch, nothing actually wrong with your file. Nothing to worry about.

Only judge this at 100% view. May I see the two screenshots at 100%?

@Gabriela, PLEASE post some photos in the Raw Class. Don't let your membership waste away - make me work hard for your money. Let me see what you've been shooting lately, and let me help make it as beautiful as it can be.

Oh! Well, if you'd like to get rid of the carpet too, that would be great! You wouldn't need to change the angle of the wood at all, I reckon.

Oh, yes, that's PERFECT! Just mask that in behind her.

Ok, terrific! May I see your SOOR? ("Straight out of raw" - that is, the raw processing done but no Photoshop work)

The same time of day would be helpful, but honestly, we can work with anything. We just need a few nice clear photos of the wood with nothing in front of it.

Ah, bummer. And no chance of going back and doing so?

Well, it might be possible. Do you have any other photos (at any angle) showing more of the wood?

@Laurie Solle?

Phew!!!! Thanks for letting me know.

Nah, this is a glitch of some sort. Did you reset Bridge's preferences? You might need to do the same with Photoshop as well.

And is this happening to every single photo you try?

Ok, that all looks good. I think you're misunderstanding the problem here. To me, it looks like the red clipping warnings accurately represent the clipping that is present in the photo in Bridge. The problem is that the histogram doesn't show the clipping. Better try this next: http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2009/10/resetting_bridges_preferences.html

Can you do this for me?

There are two ways of opening a raw file from Bridge - Ctrl O or Ctrl R. Have you tried both, to see if the problem is the same in both cases?

I got it, thanks. It doesn't do it for me. It behaves as it should. How did you open this file? From Bridge, or just by double-clicking it on your hard drive?

Gosh, that's weird. That histogram shows no clipping at all, does it? I've never seen anything quite like this. Could you send me the raw file?

I've updated the link, you can download it now. But honestly, if you're browsing because you have a similar problem, start a new thread with it. The same method rarely works twice.

@Alayne?

Hi Laurie, thanks for posting. Yes, it should be feasible, but it'll be tricky. Did you shoot this in raw format?
