You can't upgrade from the Spyder5Elite. It's the best there is. But yes, the monitor could be better. Can you elaborate on this? What's wrong with them, exactly? You mean these instructions? Please do this. Follow it all the way to the end. Let me know the outcome. Sorry, it's impossible. Even if it was possible to calibrate a phone screen (it's not), you couldn't possibly visit the homes of every single person who visits your social media, to calibrate their phones for them. All you can do is make sure you've followed best practice for web photos, and then chill out. Can you tell me about this error message? Or even better, screenshot it for me?

Firefox is the only browser to use.

Hi Katie, just to be thorough, can you do this for us?

Then perhaps I misunderstood your question? What colour was it supposed to be?

What's unsatisfactory about it, exactly?

Yeah, I'd say it was an issue with the B/C layer itself - possibly you were too aggressive with the sliders. Sadly, you never answered this question ... ... so we weren't able to diagnose it. You should NEVER be using the Brightness/Contrast feature anyway - it's the absolute worst thing in Photoshop.

So it's ok now?

Can you do your 100% crops like this for me?

This is becoming an increasingly hard question to answer as years go by. Sharpening is really specific to size, you see, and in the "old days" it was a lot easier to know the exact size of images to use for any given website. What advice does Flickr give about resizing?

Oh, great! May I see that?

Ok, what is that adjustment layer doing, exactly?

Yeah, you're using a hard-edged brush. You must NEVER use a hard-edged brush for any kind of masking. The Hardness slider must always be at 0%.

I hope this looks ok, it's the best I can do: It's a Levels layer: On the RGB channel, move the middle slider to 1.10 On the Red channel, move the Output sliders to 122 and 242 On the Green channel, move the Output sliders to 62 and 244 On the Blue channel, move the Output sliders to 52 and 246 Here's a screenshot of the Blue so you can see what I mean: Then mask it on very carefully.

May I see a whole screenshot, so I can see your layers, and toolbar and stuff?

Yes, you've named the two worst browsers there. Did you try Cmd 0?

I have to go to bed, sorry. I'm exhausted. I'll check in with you in the morning. My first advice is to simply hit Cmd 0 (zero) in all of your browser windows to make sure they're all viewing at 100% size.

No, they look exactly the same to me. I mean, exactly the same. Just the way they should. So, this means it's a problem with your browser, not your image. Which web browser do you use?

This happens to lots of people, and is absolutely nothing to worry about. You can leave those display enhancements turned off permanently, they're nothing you need. Your actions are still saved on your hard drive, I trust? just reload them.

Hi Traci, can you possibly provide me with a link to it on Twitter?

Oh, tricky one. May I see a 100% crop?

Lol, I'm not surprised! Mine is SO old now, but still going strong. One of my best investments ever.

I can vouch for the Epson range. My V700 is amazing.

In that case, try this: Download PSD

Oh, right. Yeah, you used perspective on both axes, so no, you don't need skew. I only used perspective on the x asis.

Great job.
