Hi Ildiko, when you say "pure white" do you want the natural shadows to remain? Or should it be entirely white, like a cut-out?

It just looks like you chose slightly the wrong colour to paint with? Why is it a different size? And why is it sharpened?

I think that the handyman method should work ok.

Hi Julie, I'll need to see it close up.

The second one looks better to me?

How long has it not been there?

Oh gosh. I suppose it might be possible to copy and flip the other eye, but I'm pretty pessimistic, to be honest. Do you have any other photos where the eye wasn't so warped?

I've heard good things about Digital Works, yes. http://www.damiensymonds.net/lab-reviews

Great. The instructions will guide you through choosing the right setting.

Usually "Standard" is pretty good on those screens. Which calibrator do you have?

If you simply type "ears" in the search bar on my site, it should come up.

Personally, I tend to use my mouse with Bridge anyway, because I find a mouse easier to right-click with.

I'm so sorry, that's a bit out of my league

Oh, yay! I doubt it What's it doing?

I do intend to write a Channel Mixer class, yes. But it's not imminent. I'll be lynched if the Skin Class isn't the next one I write.

Yes, definitely worth trying.

Thanks. In Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution which screen is the primary (1) display?

Hi Lisa, may I see it close up?

I don't know the answer either, but I urge you not to use a brush for this purpose. Always use the custom shape tool, and find the butterfly in there.

And just so I'm perfectly straight with all this ... When your desktop monitor isn't plugged in, and you're using your laptop screen, all three programs (Bridge, ACR and Photoshop) look the same. Am I right so far? What about when the desktop monitor is plugged in? Do all three programs still look the same on the laptop screen? Or does the problem of difference suddenly appear? The problem of difference is evident on the desktop screen whenever it's plugged in. Yes?

That's very comon. So, which one matches your pro lab prints?

I urge you to consider renewing the Raw Class. The new updated information is SO much more comprehensive than before.

The trick is to put the layer in a group, then add a mask to the group: Does that make sense? That way, you keep the gradient untouched, and do your brush work separately. In some cases, it's better to do the brush work on the layer mask, and the gradient on the group mask. The more you play with this method, the more you'll develop the instinct for what's best.

No, there is a clever trick, but it's not that. Give me a minute, I'll show you ...

Ok, this is really promising. I'm confident that once you have a permanent good light solution for your room, you'll love the results.
