Are you saying that when you go to View>Sort>Date they don't fall into the right order? If so, it means that your cameras' clocks aren't synced properly.

Hi Christy, just so we have all the necessary info, can you fill this out for me? I've also moved your question to Brian's section, because he's the expert with this stuff.

Yep, exactly.

You must never start to do any Photoshop work until your raw processing is completely done.

Hi Dannielle, I've just moved this to the general discussion area, where I hope you'll get some feedback from other GTA users.

5877x3918 is 23 megapixels. Is that correct for your camera?

What's up?

May I see a screenshot, when you have one of the files open in ACR?

It'll be a setting in your raw program.

Yes. But seriously, you don't need to be in 16-bit at all.

It refers to the colour profile of your photos. You can check it by following this.

Oh, yay! I think that will work! Put his leg in there (using a mask, of course) then borrow green foliage from the other side of the photo to fill in the rest of the space where the chair is.

Then it's not a raw file. What is its file name?

What? Just double-click it in Bridge, and it will open in ACR. Do your adjustments as usual, then press the "Open Image" button.

Great!

NO! Do you have Bridge open right now?

Just post it here please.

Oh, crap, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! http://www.damiensymonds.net/importing-video

By using Bridge, of course.

I'm sorry to say the hands in the middle of the photo are beyond redemption. The arm on the right can sort of be fixed, though.

Do you happen to have another photo showing that guy's pants and legs? Because that's what we'd need, to transplant in there.

If you already own every single piece of camera gear that you desire, and if you have spare cash that you don't need for anything else, then yes, by all means spend it on a w-g monitor. But if there's a new lens you're lusting after, or a piece of lighting equipment, or something, do the wise thing and save your extra money towards that. A normal-gamut monitor is fine. http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_monitor.html

That doesn't answer the question. Why wide gamut? http://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/08/buying-wide-gamut-screen.html

Well, that's a good question. May I ask why you're considering a wide-gamut monitor?
