Hi Rochelle, No, even though the web is the interface for this particular procedure, the files aren't "for web", as such. They're for print. So you would save them as high quality jpegs (suggest level 10) using "Save As" in the usual way. Or Image Processor. I urge you not to wait any longer to take the Sharpening Class. You'll cry real tears when you see how much better your printed stuff could have been.

Because it's least disruptive to the tonal range capabilities of the screen. In short, it reduces the risk of banding. Forcing an artificial white point can induce the risk of banding. On some screens it's not a problem, but on others it really can be a problem.

What do you think? Did you try it?

The hell you have.

Let's not worry about that until the raw processing is done. Can you post in the Raw Class for me?

Be a good sport. Donate a fiver to charity.

Nope. They look exactly the same at 100% in Bridge as they do in Photoshop. Show me screenshots from both please.

This one has slightly stronger shadows, if that's what you mean:

No, you definitely can't use this one. This should never have passed your culling process.

What kind of detail, exactly?

Luckily she's facing pretty much directly at the camera. So you should be able to carefully clone/heal the little patch on the camera-right side; then copy and flip that whole area to replace the big problem on the camera left side.

@lkmlee?

Good job.

Ha ha!

Hi Brian, what's your recommendation for the best (preferably free) anti-virus software?

I'm so sorry, I can't discuss white balance here. My Raw Class will change your life, I promise.

How about this?

This is the best method I know.

@SandySilveira?

If you want them to line up, hold down Shift as you drag.

Of course. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/07/photoshops-arrange-functions.html

You SERIOUSLY need to renew the Layers & Masks Class. It's only $14 to do so, and you badly need it.
