Thanks. Are you following my instructions here? Your profile says you have a laptop. Is it just the laptop, or do you have another screen plugged into it?

Huh. That was easy!

This is a fabulous question, but probably needs a broader range of answers than you'll find here. I'd suggest posting in a photography group. I think that everyone finds their level, you know? The amount of time you spend per photo is ultimately dictated by your number of available waking hours. You have the luxury of spending solid time on each photo, making it a glittering masterpiece. But folk shooting a lot will have to limit themselves to raw processing and just a bare minimum of PS work.

Hi Kendra, yes, I've seen this myself. Which X-Rite do you have?

Ok, at least you have that as a workaround until the other is fixed.

Also check this (the startup scripts preferences thing)

Just to check, you still have Image Processor inside Photoshop itself, right? In the File menu?

Did you see this one?

Alas, no joy for Channon as far as I know. I've been googling, as I assume you have too. Some people suggest a full reinstall (painful!) while others say it didn't work. Interestingly, it's a problem that dates back many years. This seems promising, but I don't know if it will work for CC.

I'm pretty sure @Channon had this problem too. I'll go searching ...

Gosh yes! They're amazing!!!!! http://www.damiensymonds.net/wacom-video http://www.damiensymonds.net/what2buy_tab.html

Remember, NEVER crop during editing. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/09/cropping-tutorial.html

What about around their feet? The ground that's already there?

Gosh yes. This is fine. Please read "Part 2: Focus" of this article, especially the paragraph in bold text. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. With correct print sharpening applied, this will print a million bucks. Great.

Oh gosh, your previous correspondence had me so nervous about this! This is fine. It will sharpen up perfectly. You have a greater problem, I suspect. In your correspondence you said you intended to print at 16x20. But that won't work, I suspect. Have you tried a 16x20 crop? You're going to lose the people at the sides.

One month. Give me one month to change your life: http://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge If you're not willing to improve your life beyond measure, then you have to do this instead: http://www.damiensymonds.net/color-space-settings-for-the-lightroom-user.html

Oh crap. http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs2.html

Yeah, that might work.

It's a pity there's not a bit more detail, but yes, I think it's passable.

Those tutorials are complete baloney, ignore them. That's right. Grey cards are useless. Only use a white balance sheet. Please don't say that. Elements is amazingly powerful. Please let me teach you how amazingly powerful it is.

Well, the further you move from the existing tones, the more risky it becomes. More risk of halos when masking, I mean. How about this?

Wait, come back! Please explain the problem, so I can help you solve it.
