Ah, crap. Strike 2. PLEASE don't wait too long to change your life: https://www.damiensymonds.net/trainingsharp.html Well, I see no course available to us except for you to begin the whole edit again, following the same editing steps as closely as you can remember from last time, and see where the problem arises. I assume it was with the sharpening, but since you didn't keep your layered master file, we can't check If you haven't done so already, you MUST read this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/02/trash-those-jpegs.html

What?? No, you don't need to re-mask! You can just copy the mask you've already made!!! Just drag it to the new layer!

After resizing for print? Well, first I should ask - did you resize for print?

You can't, sorry. That's why I said to keep a copy of the cloned layer. Did you do so?

I suspect that is not the only bad habit that's bitten you on the ass here. At what stage of your edit did you sharpen?

Ok, so you've introduced it somewhere in your editing. Have you kept your layered PSD file? So that you can trace the problem?

Great. If you take another look at your raw file, do you see any evidence of the problem there?

What??? I already gave you all the info you need. Just follow that link to its very conclusion.

I think the brush that you used for the white ridges was too big? Also, you'll need to blur the text a bit, won't you. Its edges are too sharp to be plausible.

Oh, if that really is the case, then you simply need this. Yes, it's an X-Rite program, but works fine with Spyder profiles too.

I see pink tinge too. Any chance of tweaking it a little more? May I see the 17 up close?

Without comparison?? Memory??? What are you talking about? Aren't you comparing the prints??????? No. I'm worried about that. It really shouldn't have been necessary.

@Lulabelle5, are you still there?

It's better than with the VGA, though?

To clarify - have you calibrated with the DVI yet, or not?

Oh crap. That is NOT your greatest problem right now. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

@daisydoo, may I have this one? https://www.facebook.com/groups/195567190503489/permalink/1436906819702847/

Hey @oodles, may I have this one? https://www.facebook.com/groups/195567190503489/permalink/1436906819702847/

Hi Lulabelle, thanks for posting. It could be a number of things, I guess. First, can I ask, did you shoot this photo in raw format?

No, I just overlaid them in your screenshot file, and they look the same.

Please read the posting guidelines. They're very important.

For the 7, I think fairly close to the real colour, on Multiply mode. BUT - you'll need to lightly mask down the ridges of the roof iron, to keep the correct white look.

I just sent you an email, by the way.

For the 1, I think very pale green on Linear Light mode.
