I have some knowledge of Illustrator, but not this kind of work. I don't know if it's possible, sorry.

Hang on, copy and paste is definitely not my recommended technique. Never C/P, only Place. Blend If can be awesome, but it's not infallible. Make sure you always check its results VERY carefully. I suggest putting a bright red layer behind your Blend-If-ed layer to help examining for flaws. Well, I'm pretty sure if I was doing it I'd want to do the one-image-at-a-time method. My computer is no slouch, but it definitely doesn't have enough power to be placing an overabundance of full-res images at once. But it's up to you.

I assume you found this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/09/extract-then-copy-vs-copy-then-extract.html

No, of course you can't do that, because the raw and jpeg files aren't the same colour.

Hi Suzanne, did you take a look at all of Brian's pinned posts at the top of the page? https://ask.damiensymonds.net/forum/18-the-windows-pc-hardware-forum/

I've already answered on Facebook, so let's keep going there.

What file format did you upload?

I have this same issue. No, there's no way to make it look like our eyes see it, because our eyes are so useless. May I see a 100% crop from part of it? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

Of course.

Facebook-sized images are big enough to print, no matter what you do. That's why we put the watermark on it.

Great! That's all you need to know.

Well, what is the destination of your file? Which website will it be for?

Have you, or have you not, resized your photo to web size?

Oh. What about if you try liquify on a small photo? Like, a web-sized photo? Does it do the same thing?

... which suggests a problem with Photoshop itself. Did you do the newest update?

How strange. Is it doing this with other photos too, or only this one?

What did you do, to get this message?

If you're desperate, you could use it. But if you've got anything better, definitely ditch this one.

Those stripes will only cause problems if you're photographing the baby from a LONG way away. Like, if the baby was being held in the arms of a person in a 30-person group photo.

Yep, give them a try. It would be a good idea to find out where local pros get their printing done.

Actually, I think Harvey Norman can be a bit better. But I'd prefer you went to a pro lab.

No, not really

Ah, the hair will be a problem for this one. You'll probably have to do it the hard way. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/04/the-handyman-method.html
