Oh gee, I'm sure Brian will tell you this is a HUGE problem. Gotta clear some serious space. Now is the time. Run this.

Oh boy, that's some dodgy cloning!!!! May I have the clean edit of your photo?

Great. You're welcome.

Perfect, thanks. She's very adorable, but yeah, far too soft, sorry. You need to scrap it. PLEASE start posting some images in the Raw Class for me.

Are you sure your gradient tool is on "Normal" blend mode in the Options bar?

I ... don't actually think you read this?

You can't paste a screenshot directly to this site, or any website anywhere on the internet. That's not how screenshots work. After taking a screenshot, you have to create a new blank file in Photoshop, Ctrl V to paste the screenshot onto it, then save it as a jpeg file in the usual way.

I rather suspect there was supposed to be a photo with this post?

PLEASE, Cathy, just post about what you're actually trying to achieve, so I can help you. The answer to your question is no.

I'm so glad.

No, not necessarily Levels. It depends on what you were trying to achieve.

Yes.

Yes, I have no reason to think not. Which ColorMunki is it? The Display?

Ok, great. Have you tried the simple method first? Just a Hue/Saturation layer, choose "Cyans" and enter roughly +10, +75, -60 or thereabouts. The thing about this method is, you have to check edges (like the hair and the fluffy rug very carefully, because it an sometimes leave weird stuff at edges.

Just the background? Or the "Dream" as well?

Could you post one of your photos? That you've sent to the lab and you think has printed dull? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_monitor.html But don't buy one yet. I haven't yet seen enough evidence that this is a monitor problem. You should avoid any lab that uses 5000K. Millers is shit for this reason. Only use labs that use 6500K.

You can't upgrade from the Spyder5Elite. It's the best there is. But yes, the monitor could be better. Can you elaborate on this? What's wrong with them, exactly? You mean these instructions? Please do this. Follow it all the way to the end. Let me know the outcome. Sorry, it's impossible. Even if it was possible to calibrate a phone screen (it's not), you couldn't possibly visit the homes of every single person who visits your social media, to calibrate their phones for them. All you can do is make sure you've followed best practice for web photos, and then chill out. Can you tell me about this error message? Or even better, screenshot it for me?

Firefox is the only browser to use.

Hi Katie, just to be thorough, can you do this for us?

Then perhaps I misunderstood your question? What colour was it supposed to be?

What's unsatisfactory about it, exactly?

Yeah, I'd say it was an issue with the B/C layer itself - possibly you were too aggressive with the sliders. Sadly, you never answered this question ... ... so we weren't able to diagnose it. You should NEVER be using the Brightness/Contrast feature anyway - it's the absolute worst thing in Photoshop.

So it's ok now?

Can you do your 100% crops like this for me?
