First, crop to your liking with NOTHING in the options bar. Then open the Image Size window, make sure the "Resample" checkbox is checked, and the units are set to pixels, then literally replace the largest value with 3000.

Do you see it?

What site is it?

Um ... I don't understand what you don't understand? You're cropping to 4 pixels by 6 pixels. That's TINY!

Screenshot please.

Color LCD is fine. Once you get a calibrator and calibrate her laptop, the calibration profile will automatically replace that.

Right. If this problem persists, you might need to roll back to Photoshop 24.

See where it says "RGB" in that little pull-down at the top? That's where you find the individual channels.

No, but it might mean you have to roll back one version of Photoshop, and stay there. Which version are you running at the moment?

Great! Then I'm not concerned about the curve at this stage. But if it continues to increase, a print match might be harder to achieve.

What? I just told you how to fix it.

Add a Levels adjustment layer and enter these values: - Red channel: 0/1.00/230 - Green channel: 85/1.00/230 - Blue channel: 125/1.00/225 This will make the whole photo kinda crazy orange. Then invert the mask to hide the adjustment. Then use a big soft brush at 10% opacity to paint onto the problem area.

For the love of God, Jess, PLEASE don't wait any longer to learn how to edit.

Phew. Can you confirm your colour space? https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

You do have Photoshop though, right?

I can probably help with this, but I'll need the actual photo not a screenshot.

Motion blur is literally directional. So if you see blur more in one direction than another, it's motion blur.

That is a bit odd, for sure. But the curve, by itself, is not the supreme overlord of calibration. How's your print match?

You should definitely try using it. You'll likely need to get the ccProfiler software (second one on this page: https://calibrite.com/us/software-downloads/ )

Yeah, this one doesn't pass. Too much motion blur.

No, never. Contrast remains at factory default. I can't possibly tell that without being in the room with you, sorry. That's your call to make. Gosh yes, it's great.

Yep, for ISO320 this is really good.

For ISO400, it's great. Of course if you'd been in better light and been able to use ISO100 it would have been even better.

This is good. Easily passable focus.
