Yeah, no, sorry.

The i1Display2 was discontinued because (among other reasons) it wasn't suitable for LED screens. Your new screen is almost certainly LED.

Are you familiar with this method? Use a nice big brush to clone out the whole top half of her head, if you have to. Clone way more than you need. The bigger the brush, the better it will blend with the existing background. Then start the painstaking masking.

How do you feel about it?

You don't have any full-length examples from your white wall?

Dust & Scratches filter at 10/3 should do it. It will probably leave just one bit that will need to be cloned afterwards.

May I see it with the Levels work, but without any colour adjustments?

It's not magenta, it's blue.

Yes.

May I see a screenshot, showing your layers panel? Is this what you were doing?

Terrific!

No, sorry, we can't use that. If the wall isn't white, it has to at least be markedly lighter than the lightest hair.

Nothing should be on Multiply mode, so I'm not sure what you're referring to there. Is your second gradient a Radial one, like mine?

Too much Color, not enough Luminance. PLEASE read the module again.

What???? It's a sea of noise.

Yes, we might be able to fix this. Go ahead and do your raw processing first, as normal, then post the 100% crop again for me.

Ok, no trouble. Can you show me one of the white-background photos, so I can experiment?

Gosh no, see how the calibration goes.

Would this be ok?

May I see a screenshot?

Ok, so you're thinking that you'd like to be able to do this if you had a fake grey backdrop?

Adobe RGB monitors are mostly purchased by men with small penises. I'm not sure what the female equivalent is.

My instructions cover this. Neither. For now, you must not touch the soft-proofing. You MUST get the calibration to satisfactorily match your prints without the assistance of soft-proofing. But later, when you are soft-proofing, you always leave it unchecked.

Ok, no trouble. And how will you use it? I mean, how will you photograph your subjects if not in front of actual thunder grey seamless?
