Don't worry about that for now. I just want to know if you can still save individual PDFs ok.

Also with PDF presentation? What about plain Save As?

It's probably akin to this one, but nowhere near as aggressive of course.

Awesome. I bet you'll notice it runs a lot better.

Oh yeah, ignore sharpness.

No, Photoshop and Firefox should match exactly.

No they're not. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tsfb000.html

Soft-proofing in Photoshop is a possibility, but not one we'll explore until you have the other set of prints. For now, simply make sure this is correct: https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

Ok, do you mind waiting those couple of days? Just to see?

Hi Megan, Are you mainly noticing this difference in skintones? Is it evident in other colours as well? In my experience with these screens, the setting on the screen itself should remain on Standard. Definitely not sRGB, it's too restrictive. Are you confident about your prints? Are they from a reputable pro lab?

Yay!

Then move it below Layer 1. Then clip Layer 1 to it.

Can't you just double-click on the black oval thumbnail in the layers panel? It's a vector shape already, so you can change it to any colour you want.

Hey Mel, may I see a screenshot of your layers panel?

Download the PSD file The first layer, Channel Mixer, should be the same for every photo. The second one, Dodge and Burn, will need to be manually done for each photo, and will take the longest time of the whole process. Still, it shouldn't take too long. The top layer, the colour one, will also need to be tweaked a little for each photo. Let me know how it goes.

Yep, I think this might work, eh? Stand by, I'll upload a PSD ...

Yes please.

May I have one more 100% crop to see if my recipe works there too?

I know it's not perfect, but this is the best I can manage. Do you think it would suffice?

I don't know, but let's press on. May I have the new 100% crops?

Please please PLEASE sign up again. Clearly much has slipped your mind. However, for now, let's persevere with what you've given me. I have to take the kids to school just now, I'll post again as soon as I get back.

Don't mention it. May I have the whole photos as well?

Oh gosh, that's such a great question! I wish I had a great answer Some tools (eg clone and healing) work either way. The Patch Tool needs a duplicate. Often when I'm cloning I might need to include a little bit of patching too, so in those cases I generally duplicate to be safe. But duplicating adds a heck of a lot of file size to your PSD, of course, so it's not always the best idea. If you're cloning, and it's only a small area, a blank layer is ideal.

Hi Cindy, nice to see you. I'm playing with a recipe that might work. Go ahead and do your raw processing on maybe three of these photos, then post them again, each with a 100% crop.

Well?
