It's moire. Start by reading this. Let me know when you have done so, and we'll discuss further.

Dang, this is fabulous! Thank you!

Oh, that is such a good question! No, I'm not aware of a way, sorry.

Oh, phew!

Did you go to the extent of uninstalling and reinstalling the Spyder software? Is it the laptop screen you're calibrating? Or do you have a desktop screen plugged into it?

Interesting. Is it just Photoshop? What about Lightroom and Bridge?

So you're saying that you've calibrated this screen with this calibrator before, successfully?

Please don't wait any longer to take the Sharpening Class.

Yep, fine. Will sharpen up beautifully.

Ok, download this PSD file. It's your master file. All the layers are vectors. You can simply double-click each layer to change its colour to whatever you need (or turn them off completely), then save a PDF version for whatever purpose you need. Remember, NEVER FLATTEN THE LAYERS. Read: http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/05/making-pdfs-from-photoshop.html

Never mind, I think I figured it out. Back soon ...

I'm so sorry, this isn't working. There's something wrong with the file. Did I ever send you a PSD file, last year? Or only the PDF?

Also, which web browser do you use?

I don't have it in front of me to check at the moment - can you simply go to the Munki's Help menu to check for updates?

Remind me which calibrator you have?

Well, the first step is to stop working in 16-bit. http://www.damiensymonds.net/color-space-settings-for-the-lightroom-user.html

Please follow my instructions here. The instructions that come with the Spyder itself are dreadful.

Yep, that's the problem.

Only Levels, and you're already in that one. Go to the Table of Contents, and read Section 2, Module 2. Raw is still raw, and sharpening is still sharpening, there is no difference between Elements and Photoshop (although I urge you to take Sharpening again, because the new module will blow your mind.) The best best BEST thing about Photoshop is that you now have Bridge. Watch this video.

Ok, great. I'll work on it tomorrow morning and have something to show you.

Ok, so you need a file where you can change the text colour as required, yes?

Download the PSD file The top two layers are the Handyman method.

This is the best I can manage:
