Yep, I just emailed you.

Well, if you can tell me your Facebook name, I can check for you.

You don't need to pay full price to take them again, by the way.

Yes ma'am. It's all there.

I'm so sorry, Julie. From the posting guidelines: Please consider the classes. They'll change your life.

This might be relevant, actually. It looks to me like she's applied some kind of clumsy tone-mapping, which can look nice on landscape photos, but not on people. Or, maybe I'm overthinking it. It might be clumsy use of Photoshop's awful Shadow/Highlight function.

I guess the first thing we need to accept is that we can never get rid of the glare altogether. Perfection is impossible. We just want an improvement. With what you've shown me, I think there might be enough detail available to slightly improve her left (our right) eye; then copy and flip that to help out the other one.

Gee, I wonder why there's such an oddly fuzzy patch on the left side of this one?

Great. Hell no. That'll be much too bright.

Oh, tough. May I see 100% crops from 24 and 26 as well? To see if there are enough little areas to build with?

Any time you find one that's unavailable, hit the "Report post" button just above it: Then I'll know it needs to be updated.

Hi Suzanne, did you find this page in your search?

What? No, you put it in the Raw Class Deluxe Posting Area, exactly as you just said.

Yes.

No, you posted it in Help with Editing again. Post it in the Raw Class posting area please.

You should probably try them all, except the "Dynamic" one - that must be avoided at all costs. But in my experience with Samsungs, Standard is usually best.

Not here. In the Raw Class please.

Oh, what are you studying?

First things first, have you checked the colour space?

Exactly as per the graph in the link I gave you. 8x12 at most (print). Or 16x24 on canvas.

@Glynda horsfall?

How did you go?

Good. This is my raindrop fix. Whether it's better that your Levels one remains to be seen, but I'm sure it will be easier. First, add a dodge and burn layer. Don't do anything on it at the moment. Then add a Channel Mixer layer. Enter these values: Red 0, 0, +111, -17 Green 0, 0, +115, -17 Blue 0, 0, +100, 0 Mask that on to the shirt very carefully. Overall it will change the tones of the shirt slightly, but nothing to worry about. Then return to the D&B layer, and paint very low opacity white to dodge any spots that are still troublesome after the Channel Mixer adjustment.

Fortunately the rain fix and the moire fix (if necessary) are independent of each other, so there's no particular order that you rigidly must do them in. Once you've fixed the colour space problem, we'll begin by discussing the rain fix; then we can talk about moire if it arises.
