You've pulled the sliders as far as they will go, and it's still not enough? That's extremely unusual.

Ok! Is it a layered file? I mean, does it have transparency around it, or only white?

Do you mean you can't see any visual change when you adjust the sliders in Spydertune?

No, it's very common.

I'm going to move this into Brian's section, because he is much more qualified to help with this. I wanted to ask, though, have you formatted the flash drive?

Alas, I've never found a way to fix this.

No, fabulous!

Oh, sorry! C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

You should certainly back up the profile, yes, because it might be better than nothing. But you will need to borrow the calibrator again once your new card is up and running.

Great. So I suggest trying Cooling Filter LBB for the warm cast on the back.

If you need help with the processing, yes of course, you're welcome to do so.

Yes, I'm confident I can help with this. Go ahead and do your raw processing as normal, then post again and we'll discuss the flare.

Yes, but not here.

There's no science to it. That just seemed to be an angle that was suited to the angle at which the light is flowing in the photo.

Gosh no! Once you do your raw processing, then the cast correction, it'll look beautiful.

That's excellent. Really good quality. Have no fear, my friend. The print will look excellent. Make sure you send a PDF file to the printer, not a jpeg. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/05/making-pdfs-from-photoshop.html

It's reasonably fair to assume that, yes.

Gosh yes, lighting is most of the battle.

What? In the Raw Class Posting Area, as usual. See the pinned post in that section to refresh your memory.

Let me see a 100% crop from the SOOR.

Great! Then you did perfectly. There's not a single thing you could have done differently.

Calibrate in the dark, yes. Well, dim, at least. It certainly doesn't have to be pitch black.

No, that's 78 megapixels. No way does your camera shoot 78 megapixels. I want to know the exact dimensions of the file you shot.

Yes, follow the troubleshooting part of my calibration instructions. Yes, definitely don't allow them to adjust densities.

You haven't actually told me what your resolution was. What are the pixel dimensions of the file that came out of your camera?
