That should all be fine. From Bridge, there are two ways to open a raw file. One is Ctrl O (for "Open") and the other is Ctrl R. Can you try both and see if one works better than the other?

You can remove noise from a jpeg to a degree.

Never the grey one. It behaves terribly. But yes, often the black one too.

Class questions go in class please.

Okay. Looks good.

Are you applying that sharpening, or is it in the print?

Did you try this, though? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/tips-for-photographing-old-photos-for.html

I'm confused. Did you find a better scanner to scan it? Or did you take a raw photo of it?

Have you read this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/scanning-guidelines-for-old-photo-restoration/

Bummer Do you have a desktop screen you can plug in to the laptop?

No, not relevant in any way at all.

Can you remove the calibration profile and go back to default? How close to your prints is that?

Honestly, maybe it's good news. A calibrator is a lot cheaper to replace than a Macbook.

It's funny, you're the third person who posted about this in the last 24 hours! Glad you found it.

Hi Teekay, I guess the first step is to check if the calibrator itself isn't faulty. Is there another computer you can calibrate to see if the same problem appears?

Yes.

Be careful. Remember that "what you like" is utterly irrelevant. Your calibrated screen must match ALL your prints, not just your favourite ones. So you've got a good calibration and print match with your other computer?

Yeah, that should be right. So you're up to this page now, yes?

Please let's not waste any more time with this for now. How far through the Raw Class are you so far?

You forgot #4 in the guidelines.

Just to check, which setting did you choose here?

The best in the business, I promise: https://www.damiensymonds.net/trainingraw.html
