  1. Yes, but that screenshot didn't look like Photoshop. What program is it?
  2. *sigh* I don't know.
  3. While you're fixing the raw editing, can you also look for some golden example images that have the same lighting as yours? That is, the "panda eyes" facial shadows? Presently, you're desiring a beautiful look that just isn't possible with your photos
  4. Ok, great. Go ahead and raw-process your photos as normal, then we'll talk about the golden stuff.
  5. Did you maybe mean seventh and seventeenth? The 15th one, by my count, is a girl leaning against a stone wall with one leg out, and it doesn't look particularly golden.
  6. Are you referring to photos that you print yourself, or ones that you sell as digital files to clients?
  7. Spread the shadow out a bit, I think. Broader and softer.
  8. Also, because it's probably relevant, this: http://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/02/selling-digital-images.html
  9. Because you're viewing the jpeg files in a non-colour-managed program, I assume. Make sure you only view in Bridge. Oh shit!!!! And because you're in Adobe RGB. Do this NOW: http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html Follow it all the way through to its conclusion. This is bloody bad.
  10. And it's considered a quality lab?
  11. I mean, have you read the NEW raw class material? Just checking.
  12. Sorry, I'm confused. Which pro lab do you use now?
  13. Level 8 is fine. Don't make it bigger, it will just make it more unwieldy for your friend to manage. And yes, PLEASE take the Sharpening Class. So much will make so much more sense to you then.
  14. Yes, that's right. That's what jpeg does, it's a compressed file format. What size are you printing it? http://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/08/about-jpeg-file-size.html
  15. Ta. For what purpose are you saving this jpeg file? Is it for print?
  16. I need a screenshot of the next window. The one that appears after you press "Save" in this window.
  17. This is nuts. You're in the Sharpening Class, have you even read it yet????
  18. Ok, I understand. Yes, of course jpeg is ok, as long as you immediately delete the jpeg from your hard drive after you place it, so that it's not cluttering your hard drive.
  19. I think it needs shadow mainly down beside the cheek.
  20. Does your calibrated screen actually match your prints? Which Spyder do you have, and what screen?
  21. Why on earth would you have a jpeg???????
  22. You must have been painting it on with a much too high opacity brush.
