Oh, interesting! I wonder if they mean 1500 width even for portrait photos? Or doesn't the site allow for portrait photos?

Hi Cyndi, you did exactly right, thanks. This is a fairly simple fix with a Levels adjustment, followed by the Handyman Method. Download the PSD file

Hi Kerry, may I see the whole photo for context?

Does squarespace give a maximum upload size, at least?

No, darn it, an actual link to the page it's on. So credit can be given to the artist.

Looks ok at this size.

I have never suggested cropping to 5:7 shape. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/02/selling-digital-images.html Can you show me a screenshot of the options that are available to you?

Why would you need to do that? Unfortunately, you can't. Nobody has ever found a way.

Because you're looking in the wrong drop-down menu, ya goose! ?

Great. You mentioned D55 and D65 - are those the Munki settings? What about the screen's presets? Have you tried a variety of those?

May I see a 100% crop of the area?

Hi Karen, first, can you assure me that your light isn't the problem? It frequently is, in these situations.

Yeah.

I need you to provide a link to the example image. And probably your two separate photos.

Thanks so much.

Hi mate, could you briefly read over the posting guidelines again, particularly in regard to not uploading images that don't belong to you.

And did you also see the "send me the raw file" link?

Could you do me a favour? This purple hand would be a good subject to include in my Skin Class. Would you be willing to donate this photo to me for that purpose? If so, could you send me the raw file?

http://www.damiensymonds.net/tut_noise.html Maybe you could low-opacity clone the forearm into the wrist a little, to make the blend a bit better? I'm not sure, to be honest.

Yeah, this happens to lots of people, don't worry. Myself included. Here's the fix: http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_vista.html

Hi Ratbag, as you would have seen from the pinned post, Brian is away for a week. I don't have any knowledge about this issue, sorry.

Oh, that's great news! Try to get the lighting similar if you can. Well, it will be a fairly common matter of layers and masking. We'll discuss that once you can show me the photos.

Well, gosh, yeah it's definitely worth trying!
