The Nikon D750 should be a 2:3 shaped sensor, shouldn't it??

Gee, something seems to have gone wrong here. What camera was this photo taken with?

Gosh, well spotted. This could have caused you much pain later. Yes, immediately go to Edit>Assign Profile, and assign sRGB to it.

Wow. How weird!!! Can you try this for me? Install it and set it up, then the next time this happens, see if it can knock things back into shape for you.

And what fixes it? Do you have to restart to get it to go back to normal?

After you restored your laptop, and re-installed the Spyder software, did you make sure you had the most current version from their website? When you see this problem occur, do other programs look bad too?

Hi Teresa, which Spyder do you have?

Oh gosh, that's mean, isn't it? I think I can help you with the first one, but I fear the second one is beyond repair. Go ahead and do your raw processing on the first one and post it again, and we'll see what we can achieve. Most importantly, do you know why this happened? Can you prevent it ever happening again? Did you have a filter on your lens?

Yes, that's right. http://www.damiensymonds.net/importing-video http://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-video http://www.damiensymonds.net/dng-video

Nobody needs to view their photos in their Mac finder. Bridge is all you ever need.

What??? No, don't upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every colour laser printer I've ever encountered has a setting in the Print Settings to print with black toner only. And with a decent magnifying glass, you'd be able to tell if any colour toner has been used, anyway.

1) Before is much better, if it's not too late. And if you do it before, Question 2 will be redundant, I expect? 2) If you must do this, don't allow it to rasterize.

If you open a third file (unrelated to the other two) does it cause the same weird issue?

And they're both open in Photoshop? You opened the jpeg directly, and the raw via ACR?

Gosh. First time you've noticed this behaviour? How are you flicking? Alt-tab? What screen is it?

Before we get deep into it, can you try the simple solution first? http://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/09/resetting-tools.html

Hi Kendra, I suspect this functionality would come down to the "Print Settings", and your printer may or may not support it. You can definitely spend time exploring that button (near the top of the screen) but to be honest, it'll be much easier just to duplicate the design in Photoshop, so there's two on the page, then print it as normal. If you need help with doing that, can you show me a screenshot from Photoshop, showing me the design and your layers panel?

Hi Marci, it seems like you haven't yet read this?

Hi, you said it's a new computer ... is it also a new calibrator? Or did you use this calibrator on your old computer as well?

Most of it will be achieved simply by getting the raw processing right. I urge you to read Modules 5 and 6 of the class over again. And again and again, until they stick.

Remember to always Alt-click on the mask of a layer you don't understand. That will show you where it's working.

Oh gosh. You REALLY need to renew the Raw Class.

$46. Gosh, I'm so sorry, I meant do your raw processing first, then post the image.
