She will love it. Well done.

Hi Chrissy, can you provide me with links to hazy photos you admire?

Can you do this for me? Also, is the file 8-bit or 16-bit? Which drive are you saving too? Your internal hard drive?

No, WHOLE toes. It should be a big brush.

The reason I ask is that the pink flowers are completely unprintable. WAAAAY too vivid. For the background, I'd add a green Solid Color layer, reduce its opacity to taste, then very carefully mask.

No, you have to use the screen's own buttons to navigate around those menus.

Didn't you say the buttons were at the bottom right of the screen, at the front?

Well, if you need my help, can you take a photo of the screen's menu?

Oh, mine. The Spyder instructions are awful.

I don't understand the question? Just follow the instructions exactly.

Great!

Ok, great! So where are its buttons? Often they're underneath on the right-hand side, or at the side/back.

It will explain everything you need to know.

Great!!!!!! Tell your mentor to not use such a stupid computer.

Did you get my emails, by the way? Do you intend to print this photo, or is it only for web display?

Ok, if you could update your profile details, that would be wonderful, thanks. What make and model of screen is it?

That's not a saying on your side?

Yes, this does look like a white balance issue.

Your sidebar says you have a laptop. Is that still the case?

I think you're missing the important point here. It's not about the light and shadow any more. You could even those out perfectly, and the pattern on the blanket would still make it glaringly obvious that there were undulations. If you really want it to be perfectly smooth, you'd have to attempt to take another photo of the blanket, and superimpose it in. But that would be darned hard, I fear.

Bummer. I don't know, I'm so sorry. I'm going to move this to the GenDisc area, to see if anyone else has any ideas.

Horses for courses. Your job was very specific, owing to the nature of the three photos you started with.

Well, make sure you do your pixel work underneath your adjustment layers.

Raging nerds will tell you that the walls must be perfect neutral grey, but that's so inhumane in my opinion. As long as they're fairly neutral, it'll be fine - white or cream or very pale brown or whatever. If a window is unavoidable, try to have good blockout curtains, and generally, I'd advise having it at the side of your seated position. In front of you (behind the screen) will throw glare into your eyes, and behind you will throw glare onto your screen. The position of the light globe/s is an interesting one. I have a long fluro bulb, and after trying various positions, I found I liked it best when it was directly above my head. Kinda the same principle as above - if it was in front of me it got in my eyes, if it was behind me it glared on the screen. Desk? Well, I love my standing desk. But it's not for everyone, I'm sure.

I'm so sorry, I don't know. Do you have eyes from another photo that might swap?
