No, this is fine. Read the bolded paragraph in this article.

A newer/better calibrator will do a better job. The Spyder 3 is very old now, the technology has improved significantly. Which Spyder3 is it? Express, Pro, or Elite?

Don't be absurd. You don't need a model release for a 100% crop.

The fix I gave for one photo won't necessarily work on another photo. You need to show me your photo. Not the whole photo, of course. I need a 100% crop from the problem area.

By all means. But know that you can't sharpen the photo. So it's a trade-off.

No problem. I love the easy ones

Did it work?

Not with an action - with Image Processor. http://www.damiensymonds.net/client-photoshop

Right-click on it. Presently yours is set to "No Thumbnail".

If you can't open them into ACR either, then this.

Can you open the files into ACR ok?

So sorry about my delayed reply. Glad you like it. Download the PSD here. Even though the Clone layer is first in the stack (and you can certainly add the blank layer first if you wish) the cloning is the last thing to do. Do the CM and Levels layers first, then come back to the Clone layer to gently (low opacity brush) reduce the worst remaining stuff.

I don't think there can be any doubt that the screen on a $299 laptop will be pretty ordinary. But there's equally little doubt that a new calibrator which is made for Windows 10 and LED screens will do a better job than one which was manufactured before Win10 or LED.

That's correct. Support for it stopped a very long time ago.

That noise reduction is good. This is the best I can manage. Would it be sufficient?

Hi Stacey, I've moved this post into the correct section. This style only works on photos with backgrounds that are completely dark (or medium dark, anyway). Can you find a photo among yours that suits? Before that, though, please read through the pinned post in this section.

Add a Channel Mixer layer, check the "Monochrome" box, and enter +50/0/+50. That should do most of the heavy lifting.

Have you processed the raw file twice? If so, may I see the sky one?

Now that they're close, you can go to View>Sort>Manually, and re-jig them a bit more as needed. Then select them all and go Tools>Batch Rename.

This one? http://www.damiensymonds.net/importing-video

Ok, that's oodles of RAM, so you should have no trouble there. I expect Brian will tell you that the problem is your hard drive. He generally recommends always having at least one-third free space, and you've only got one-ninth free space. I'd get some stuff of there, pronto.

No it doesn't. Check again.

Are you saying that when you go to View>Sort>Date they don't fall into the right order? If so, it means that your cameras' clocks aren't synced properly.

Hi Christy, just so we have all the necessary info, can you fill this out for me? I've also moved your question to Brian's section, because he's the expert with this stuff.

Yep, exactly.
