It's old school FS. People like me were doing FS way before it had a name. Duplicate the Background layer twice. Change both of them to smart objects. Hide the top layer, then apply Gaussian Blur to the bottom layer, to get rid of the texture. Add the blank layer and clone out the letters. (Not shown in the PSD) Group those two layers and add a layer mask to the group, and mask. Return to the top layer and apply the High Pass. Add the blank layer and smooth the texture using the Mixer Brush. Put both those layers into a group, then change the group blend mode to Linear Light, then add the layer mask and mask.

I don't know, sorry

No, I don't have any tutorials about it, sorry.

You said you'd tried frequency separation, but it hadn't worked for you? It worked okay for me when I tried.

Can you take the 100% crop again, and make sure you save it at really high quality? I can't see through the jpeg degradation.

Please take the class again soon Now may I have the 100% crop of the writing again?

The whole raw processing please.

This can't possibly be right, surely? It's so dark!

I think it might be possible, yes, with the help of some channel work. Can you go ahead and do the raw processing on the photo, then post again?

Post this photo in the white balance section as usual please.

Yeah, sorry. That device is too old for the newer Mac screen technology

The one with LR is actually the cheapest package, I think? That's what I've got.

I see no reason not to get the very latest?

@Mariia Morello?

Like this, I guess: https://max.mailbigfile.com/8bd567bdd92912f9c830d9dae7be093e/listFiles.php

No, sorry mate. Feedback on editing is only given in class.

Can you remind me of the "before" image?

Is there a question?

It'll be fine. I mean, it's not quite perfect, but I see no reason it can't be printed big.

No, the picture is definitely NOT okay. As I said, you have to scrap it and start over.

Oh heck. You said you'd fixed that! No, it's definitely NOT okay. And no, simply unchecking that box doesn't fix the problem. You have to go back to the beginning.

Well done for spotting the Display P3 thing. Stupid Adobe have tripped up a lot of people with that. Yep, sounds perfect. Those settings have nothing to do with your Mac. They are all about Photoshop, and your camera. Have you calibrated it yet?
