On both photos, add a Channel Mixer layer, go to the Green channel, and change from 0, +100, 0, 0 to +30, 0, +70, 0. Then on each photo, tweak that +70 number, while toggling the layer off and on to view the result, On the first photo I found I had to take it slightly down, on the second photo slightly up. Then mask.

5000 might be okay. It's certainly better to err too cool than too warm, if err you must.

I'm talking tiny tiny percentages of difference. Your screen should damn near exactly match your prints. Follow my calibration instructions again please.

Of course never look at your stupid home prints. Only the ProDPI prints. Have you recalibrated to make your screen match the ProDPI prints?

I guess you'd have to copy good detail from higher up the box. It'll be darn tricky though.

Bridge of course. https://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge/

No, shit no, not Lightroom!

Great. Can you go ahead and do your raw processing on the photo (don't forget the noise removal) then post it again for me?

Hi @Natbatt, did you shoot raw?

This one, do you mean? Yes it does.

It's perfectly okay, don't worry. It doesn't matter where or how they were edited, as long as: they're sRGB; and they were printed by your regular pro lab.

Great.

Come on @Kiwiellis. Your year of membership has half gone already.

Well, it must have been a recent update to Photoshop. So I think you should go to your Creative Cloud app and roll back to the previous version. Other people have had to do this too, for various reasons.

Where are these raw files? Are they on your internal hard drive?

That should all be fine. From Bridge, there are two ways to open a raw file. One is Ctrl O (for "Open") and the other is Ctrl R. Can you try both and see if one works better than the other?

You can remove noise from a jpeg to a degree.

Never the grey one. It behaves terribly. But yes, often the black one too.

Class questions go in class please.

Okay. Looks good.

Are you applying that sharpening, or is it in the print?

Did you try this, though? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/tips-for-photographing-old-photos-for.html
