No, the answer is a yes. You have to get the white balance consistent.

I'm staring at this trying to figure out what I'm seeing. The right-hand line (further from camera) is probably the real one, isn't it?

Oh gee, this won't be easy. Which line do you want to remove?

This is not a crooked problem. You weren't square to the row of people. You should have moved to your right a bit. So I figure you'll have to distort the perspective and hope for the best:

It doesn't matter where the sun was. Her clothing and headband should have been exactly the same colour in your raw edits.

You rocked it!!!

500 does seem a bit big.

That doesn't say 100%?

No it's not. May I see a screenshot of your whole screen?

No, I'm so sorry. I don't have a way to lighten them

No you don't. Your statement implies the assumption that your in-camera white balance is correct. But that is a false assumption in the majority of cases.

After that, you could add a Solid Color layer on Soft Light mode, masked very carefully to the nail, and make it any colour you wish.

Hi Ellie, may I have a closeup of them?

This is the easiest: But if that's too skin-coloured, let me know and we can talk about other options.

Change it to what?

Everyone reports this. It's completely irrelevant, don't worry about it.

First, try this.

No, sorry, it'll need to be darker than that. Or find different links, to photos that you like with more light in the background, similar to your photos.

Yes, truly, it shouldn't be too hard. This is exactly the kind of challenge I'd recommend for somebody who's just learning about cloning. It'll test you, but it's achievable.

Yes you are. Go ahead.

We'll need to talk about the mushrooms in the Raw Class please.

No, module 10

This is all discussed in the new module of the Sharpening Class.

Well, the next step is to try getting the same prints from another lab, to see if the result is the same.
