Did you try where rrhyno said?

Hi @SusieKeeps, can you update your profile details to show your calibrator?

No, that's correct. In order to join the Levels Class you need to be a current member of the Raw Class. You're right to choose "no". Then on the next page, you have to choose "Yes, I've taken it in the past, and now I'd like a refresher."

No you didn't.

You've already taken the Raw Class.

No, you only got up to the Layers & Masks Class.

Levels next, then Skin.

Don't worry, you'll learn all about that next in the classes which follow.

Soft-proofing should be the solution, actually. But it relies on the labs providing you with a super-accurate soft-proofing profile. Crossing my fingers!

Okay, go ahead and run Glary right away: https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/22347-glary01/

Can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

That is REALLY weird. If you press OK, can you go ahead and use Liquify anyway?

Screenshot please.

May we have a link to the monitor's specs?

That's correct, with the card in frame. Can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread2.html

Make sure the tool is set to "W x H x Resolution" when you do it.

Yes. And great.

They literally print it this size, then cut off the extra 3mm all around. It's standard printing procedure. If you don't provide that size, they'll enlarge your file, then print then cut. So you'll lose the edges of your photos that you want to keep. That's why you need to give them the extra.

Thanks. Have you included the 3mm bleed as instructed? It'll need to be 222.6 x 22.6 cm.

May I see your design?

What else did they ask? What colour space have they told you to use? RGB or CMYK?

Hi Wally, this is a very good question. Does the design only contain photos? If so, then no, there's no difference between a jpeg and a pdf. In fact, your photos will simply be jpegs inside the pdf. But if there are other elements - eg text or logos - then PDF is crucial. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/05/making-pdfs-from-photoshop.html

I've found that Brother laser printers don't have a very long life. I'm caught in a loop with mine, buying new parts for it. I probably would have been wiser just to replace it.

No, come on. I'm sure the lady wasn't wearing blue.
