  1. The Levels Class will rock your images in dozens of ways, but no, this is not a Levels Class thing.
  2. Ok. The one on her cheek looks the hardest. May I see a 100% crop of that area?
  3. First things first, have you assessed the problem, and ascertained how you'd prevent it from ever happening again?
  4. Hi Suzanne, the handyman method will work fine for this. Make sure you work with a very low opacity brush, and plenty of patience. I used 3% for this:
  5. Phew, great! It wouldn't be a bad idea to test to make sure the calibrator itself is ok. Do you happen to have another computer in the house which you can try calibrating?
  6. You're viewing it WAY bigger than 100%. Of course it's going to look pixelated when you zoom way in. Only view at 100% size.
  7. Wait, have you reset Photoshop's preferences? Hold down Ctrl Alt Shift immediately you launch Photoshop.
  8. Wow. Is this for every type of file? Newly-processed raw file Previously saved PSD file Previously saved jpeg file
  9. How odd. Same thing when you use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl Shift S?
  10. Gee Cathy, this sounds like a problem with your room light, not your screen. Can you describe the light in your room?
  11. The fact that he does this tells me that he's using copy/paste, which is BAD. You must always use File>Place to bring your textures in. No, just add a Hue/Saturation layer, and clip it to the texture layer, then slide the Saturation slider all the way to the left.
  12. What you've shown here is the natural behaviour of Photoshop. At some point in the past you must have gone to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts to customise the Ctrl L shortcut to create a layer; and now it's been lost. Photoshop always loses settings occasionally. So yeah, you'll need to go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts and do it again.
  13. Yes, it's so simple you'll fall off your chair. It's just a Levels layer, and I moved the black Input slider to 50, and the black Output slider to 70. Then masked it to everything except the child. And you'll find dozens more matte variations in the download files.
  14. This one won't work. You'll need to find a photo of hers that has light in the background like yours; or find a photo of yours that doesn't have light in the background, like hers.
  15. What? It's been open for several months. https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/6534-skin-class-details/
  16. Glad you're enjoying them. Just you wait, the Skin Class will rock your world. Unfortunately I can't access this link. The owner must have their page locked down to only be visible to people from their own country. Can you find the image on their website?
  17. Alas, yeah, I see what you mean This'll have to be a patient clone/heal job.
  18. No, sorry, the forum has shrunk your file. Please take some at 700.
  19. Yeah, funny how many well known photographers are shit at editing.
  20. Hi Jennifer, I've moved this post to AD, since it's not a class question per se. The easiest way would be to add a cream Solid Color layer set to "Color" blend mode. Let me know if that isn't satisfactory, and we can explore a more complex method.
