Ok, please read this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/09/cropping-tutorial.html Yes, I can help you with the chair. But of course Photoshop editing must not be done until raw processing is finished, so go ahead and do your raw processing then post the WHOLE photo for me.

Hi Rentia, which camera do you have?

So am I. I think Adobe have already covered this, but can you make sure these solutions are all ok?

I'm so sorry Jenn, I can't discuss this here, as it's covered in great depth in the Raw Class. Please consider it: https://www.facebook.com/damien.photoshop/photos/a.183682458346830.39021.183680248347051/1313016648746733/

And have you successfully calibrated both? I mean, do they both match your pro lab prints?

@Cleyvosier?

Gee, no, that's fine! Perfect!

And it's only the image in Photoshop which visibly changes? Not the whole screen?

Only the first time? The other nine times ... ?

So, what was the upshot of this? Have you tried changing it back and forward any more times? Was it just a fluke, or your imagination, or definitely a thing?

Oh gee, don't apologise - it's a busy day here too.

Ok, and once more for me ... "Assign Profile" doesn't improve it?

Before you recalibrate, I need you to do this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/10/how-to-properly-re-install-spyder.html

What the hell?????? Personal preference has NOTHING to do with this. I asked about print match only. Do you, or do you not, have pro lab prints in your hand right now, comparing them to their exact files on your screen?

Ok. Can I clarify a couple of things from your original post? Have you recalibrated since all this trouble began? Also ... When you first typed this you sure made it sound like the ACR colours were wrong. Can you confirm that you are now CERTAIN that the ACR colours are correct? Or to ask it another way, does Firefox match your prints exactly?

Thanks. And you said (just so I'm clear) that if you "Assign" your monitor profile to the image in Photoshop, it makes it even less like Firefox?

Ok, can you go through the motions for me? In Firefox, press Ctrl O to open a jpeg file which is saved on your hard drive somewhere. In Photoshop, open the same Jpeg file. Position Firefox and Photoshop beside each other, and take a screenshot for me, so I can see the difference.

In a way, that's good. That's correct behaviour. Unlike that weird fading thing. Good. So I want to know, does Firefox show correct colours, like ACR, or dull colours like Photoshop?

I've heard that for years. It's never happened yet.

I saw the video - so it happens as soon as you let go of the mouse, yes?

Yeah, scrap it, sorry.

I'm so sorry, I bet you've been trying to respond to this. There was a website problem while I was asleep. I've just cleared it, you can post again now.

A fade again, as you described before? Or instantaneous this time?

My poor son is begging me for a bike ride, I have to go, I'm so sorry. When I get back later I'll check in for your report about Firefox.
