That's harder to achieve than you would think. The lining up of the two photos has to be exquisite.

For the other one, first add a Channel Mixer layer, check the "Monochrome" checkbox, then enter 0/0/+100/0 for the four sliders. This will turn the whole photo black-and-white. Then add a Levels layer and immediately clip it to the Channel Mixer layer. Enter these values: R 0/1.10/235 and 30/255 G 0/1.05/235 and 15/255 B 0/0.90/255 and 15/255 This will now turn the whole photo kinda brownish. Return to the Channel Mixer layer and invert the mask to hide everything. Then with a big soft brush, paint loosely over the flare area.

No, it should look much better than this. Make sure you select OUTSIDE the flare with the lasso tool. Don't try to select it precisely at its edges.

Sounds like this is just an "old computer" problem

For the one on the left, just Content Aware it. Duplicate the Background layer, then select around the flare with your lasso tool, then go to Edit>Fill, and choose 'Content Aware' from the little drop-down menu at the top. Unfortunately that won't work for the other one. So may I have a 100% crop of that one?

I've never heard of this before. It's so weird. Have you spoken to Adobe about it?

Ah, ok. I thought you might have had another internal drive you could have tried.

@Chaya1028 can you do this please?

Do you only have a C drive on your computer? Or another drive as well?

And in Photoshop, if you go to the File menu and choose "Browse in Bridge" ... nothing there either?

What does it do?

Hang on, it's got a USB-C port, doesn't it? Can't you just get an adapter? You'll need one for other reasons too, not just calibration.

You've done it completely perfectly.

@Shortstuff Shazza follow the directions EXACTLY please.

They're a lot cheaper than $500 nowadays.

I've got nothing, sorry. I think you'll just have to blur it.

Do you recall what quality level you chose when saving the jpeg file of the 100% crop?

Yes you can, and should, delete those older ones. And take steps to make a bit more free space beyond that if you can.

Of course this can't be right. Can you confirm?

Can you do this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

Does it give you an error message?

For the last point ... It would also be possible to add a Solid Color layer of desirable petal colour, set it to "Color" blend mode, and mask it on to the central area.

Because the red of the flower is quite strong, it should be possible to add an overall Hue/Saturation layer, go to Reds, and move the Hue slider left or right respectively. Then mask out some stuff in the background which you don't want changed. No, you'd just use Levels for that. I would use a cooling filter for that. A tiny bit of yellow Photo Filter I think.

I'm so sorry mate, I've played and played, and I can't find anything faster than the Handyman method: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/04/the-handyman-method.html
