What the hell??? You NEVER use a hard-edge brush for masking, EVER.

What you've shown me here looks perfectly normal. I'm not sure what you're worried about.

Did you notice the weirdness in your raw program, or only in Photoshop later?

Terrific, thanks. Did you shoot this in raw format?

And for reference, may I see the whole photo?

On mine, "Shape Dynamics" is turned off, and "Smoothing" is turned on. I don't know if that helps.

Because they're not adjustable. Which i1 Display? The Pro?

Hi Toni, could you please take the sections like this?

Sorry about my delayed reply. First, can you tell me which one Bridge matches? ACR or Photoshop?

It should be as simple as choosing the crop tool, then pressing the Esc key.

No problem. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Hmmm ... not easy. What about this?

With two pitiful screens like that, you can never hope for really true results. "Reasonably close" is all you can hope for. Yes, the process is the same for both screens. They're both laptop screens, essentially. Which calibrator do you have?

Well, let's see it.

I'm so sorry, I don't know. I'm going to move this question to the GenDisc section, in hopes that other members are familiar with those programs, and can tell you.

Yes, I think so.

You must have misread it. I just tried it, and it worked perfectly.

Yeah, gosh, I agree. The veil will be the challenge. Please, Candice, don't do any Photoshop work until your raw processing is completed. I'm pretty sure this bride wasn't married in blue.

That certainly sounds promising, yes.

Yep!

Find a photo of suitably-matching out-of-focus greenery, and start painstakingly masking it in there.

It still looks like it's glowing a bit

Yeah, you're not kidding.
