There is a plug-in called "Flood" which everyone raves about for this kind of thing. I've never found that Photoshop's ripple features are much good.

May I have a few more 100% crops?

@BrianJoseph?

@stevie?

How did you go, @meris?

Did that help, @Leslie Vu?

@Melissa Harris Photography?

Either Cmd Delete or Option Delete, depending on which colour is the foreground colour in your toolbar.

Hi Emma, don't try to fix it, just replace it. https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/ Eg this: Download the PSD file

Oh, it's absolutely not worth $4.99, let alone $49.99. It's only for people who don't know how to use Levels.

Yes.

No, something is going badly wrong here. Are you measuring it with a ruler?

You can't leave the resolution field blank, nor do you need to. It doesn't matter what you put in there, it's completely meaningless, I promise. 300, 200, 100, whatever.

Is this the article you're following?

Oh, hooray!!!!!!

Crap. Then ok, yes, calibrate your old laptop to check. That way, you've got it to edit on this weekend if needed.

Well, the absolute best option would be to plug a desktop screen into your new laptop and calibrate that. Is that option available to you?

Ok, let's get the big things out of the way first. Have you checked that the calibrator isn't faulty? By calibrating another computer in the house with it?

Hi Sarah, may I have a link to details about your laptop? Also, remind me which calibrator you have?

This is the best I can manage for the second one. I realise it's not very good. Download the PSD file

Darn, I was afraid of that. The first one you posted should be fairly straightforward, because she's looking directly at the camera, and none of the flare is obscuring similar parts of both eyes. Therefore, it should be easy enough to copy and flip one eye to the other. Have you done that before? Let me know if you need guidance. But the second one is tricky, because she's at an angle, so copying/flipping isn't an option. I'll have a play with that one and see what's possible.

Hi Joyce, do you have many of these to fix? Just this one, or others as well?

I'm pretty sure it's just this: Download the PSD
