So you're saying that Photoshop, Bridge and Facebook all match each other?

That's not what I asked.

Terrific. So explain the problem to me. In what way is your screen differing from your pro lab prints?

Not at all. Are these the instructions you've been following?

That's exactly what I'm here for. Post in this section as often as you like.

I can't discuss raw processing here.

Well, isn't that the point? Aren't you just seeing everything bigger now?

Which Spyder do you have?

That doesn't seem like a good recommendation to me. Better to resize them exactly, then sharpen them appropriately, then upload them.

What screen did you have before?

And what about Photoshop itself?

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.
