No, but if Bridge has forgotten how to read your monitor profile somehow, a new monitor profile might help. So yeah, go ahead and recal first.

This happens to random people from time to time, and I don't know why. Did it coincide with a recent recalibration?

This little button is where the fun lives:

No, you said you created the text in Word. Oh, sorry, I misunderstood that. No, you can't create it as a separate file. You have to type it IN the photo file.

You need to do the text in Photoshop, so that you can curve it. You'll find lots of tutorials out there about how to do curved text.

Can you explain this? Why would it be curved for the plate?

How about this layer, then reduce the layer opacity to your taste? https://max.mailbigfile.com/d68a585f91c40a69b2269ad74ebcdf96/listFiles.php

Yeah, 'fraid so

Yay! Emailed you.

Crikey, that's bad. So the external screen is completely black?

This is fabulous focus!

I'll probably be asleep when they arrive, so don't wait for me Go ahead and calibrate. I look forward to hearing how it goes.

No. Definitely not at 8x10. The edges of your masking are too fuzzy.

I think your masking brush was a little too big.

Have they arrived yet @Erin Falkenham?

Is this the method you're using?

Right.

If I'd erased, there would just be white space there. So yes, I have to clone nearby detail onto those areas. Have you used the Clone Tool very much before?

Hi @AlSimmons, thanks for your kind words. I realise that it's not super-easy to see what I've done in that particular part of the tutorial. Here, I've assembled the before-and-after into a gif. Does this make it a bit easier for you to see?

Try a Hue/Saturation layer with "Colorize" checked, and +27, +27, 0 for the three sliders. (Or thereabouts)

You can't upgrade the class until you're calibrated.

Gotta get the prints first.

Sorry @ChristyB, a setting got messed up. You should be able to reply now.

That means your screen is too bright. Are you following my exact directions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/

Talk to me, @Erin Falkenham. In what way does your screen differ from your prints? What make and model of screen do you have, and which Spyder do you have?
