Yes, seems good.

I'm so sorry, I can't find the photo on that page.

I'm so sorry about my delayed replies. I've been making masterpieces (and a massive mess) in the kitchen in between internetting. Please do your clean processing and post again.

This is what I was looking for, and it should be fine. So that doesn't help us. Have you noticed if the "blurriness" is better or worse in some programs than others? (By the way, at about this point, it'll be tempting for you to start questioning your own sanity, and wondering whether it really is blurry or not. Keep trusting your initial instinct - if you think it's blurry, it is.)

Yes, that would be ok.

No, that's ok. Can you click on the "Displays Preferences" button, then show me a screenshot?

I can't find any reference on google to a plain PA249. Are you sure about those specs?

This is so difficult for me, because I don't know you all. I'll leave this to your best judgement. In other matters, you'll need to go back to the individual PSD file of yourself, and darken your gown a bit. See how it's pale beside Jim's?

Please re-read rules #1 and #4 of the posting guidelines. Ta.

Was the previous one exactly the same model?

Well, you seem rather small ...

Oh gosh, that's REALLY old. It's possible that its graphics card doesn't support a sufficiently high resolution for your new screen. Did you notice the blurriness when you first plugged it in, or did it only appear after calibration? I'd still like to see a photo of the computer, if I may.

May I have more information? A link to details about it, perhaps? Or at least a photo?

Your profile says you have a Mac. What kind of Mac?

What makes you think it isn't the calibration?

Are you certain about the proportions?

*shrugs* I don't see what you can do.

Oh, sorry! Well, that was the channel that had the least contrast.

Can you let me know what you discover? About the tint, I mean?

Personally I would have left a few more wisps than that, but you've definitely got the right idea, well done. I can't wait to see how it looks when you've combined everyone into one photo!

Ok, so take a close look at all the layers after the BW conversion. One of them is adding a very slight tint. You'll be blown away. The new content is so much better than ever.

Well, I don't know. Can you tell me how you convert to BW?

Can't she see how bad this looks? Even if it doesn't print any worse than it looks (and that's a big if) it'll still be dreadful.

Good grief, what is her problem????????

Interesting ... that one isn't true black-and-white either. That's very poor practice on your part, but in this case, it might be good news, because it should rule that out as a cause of this particular problem. I think this is a lab cock-up.
