Your Color Settings are correct, good stuff. You convert by going to Edit>Convert to Profile. (Do NOT use the "Assign Profile" function, it's a menace).

Definitely DO NOT USE THESE SETTINGS. Stick to North America General Purpose 2 as it should be. Yes, you can convert your images to Adobe RGB as part of the output process - either just before, or just after, sharpening for print.

Before you go any further, can we discuss this photo in the Raw Class? And PLEASE hurry up and see the announcement in the Levels Class.

Oh, interesting choice. Ok, I guess it can work ... For the fountain, you'll need to work patiently with a low-opacity brush for the masking, to make it blend plausibly.

May I see the whole photo?

Well, no, your prints are what they are. Then never change. Maybe your light is too dim and too warm?

Now, hang on. That sky looks MUCH too strong. Let's keep things plausible.

Yes, this is really important. If you don't see the issue in jpegs, then we can narrow it down to a raw problem, not a problem with your screen.

Hi Nilda, are you seeing this behaviour with raw files only?

Oh yes, it'll have to be another orange sky.

It's completely white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't get any more blown out than that.

Hi Cindy, have you read this?

Sorry, that's as good as it's going to get. But please be aware you're not out of danger yet. Not by a long way. When you resize for print or web, the problem might reappear. So make sure you've read this thoroughly.

I agree. But what else are we to do? The only alternative would be to mock up a personalised plate.

What??? I gave you the PSD!!!!

Well, for out-of-focus ones like that, you might be able to clone it out entirely. But where the grill is in focus, cloning would be prohibitively time-consuming, I'd say. But I guess it depends on how much time you can afford on this job.

Um, that's a different photo.

Gee, you'd just paint right over it, I reckon. Download PSD file

Ok, great. Are these the exact instructions you followed?

That message really doesn't matter. Keeping the graphics processor turned off is generally a good idea anyway. Do you have this button visible?

Opinions are completely irrelevant here. The only relevance is the print match. Which calibrator do you have, and what screen? And which pro lab do you print with?

Terrific. Have you see this page? It's my go-to.

Ok, let's take it step by step. First, can you tell me which version of Elements you have?

I'll be able to help with this to a degree. Go ahead and do your raw processing as normal, then post the 100% crop again for me.

Oh crap, no wonder. This is similar to this question. I'm not aware if CC would solve your problem, sorry.
