Yes, that's exactly the point.

Just to check, you should be sampling the colour from (1) and then clicking at (2). Is that what you're doing?

Gee, it's really close!

No, it doesn't sound like a Levels matter. Here is fine.

No no no! We mustn't fall into that trap. Your prints are what they are. Then never change. They are NOT yellow. Your screen is too cold. Is that how you've been approaching the troubleshooting?

Ok, that gives us a good solid basis. So you're saying that no matter what you do, the ASUS screen is always colder than the prints?

You've already masked, remember? Steps 1-5 should make the dark wall at the top of the hair match the light wall at the rest of the hair.

Using the same Munki?

What was your old monitor; and did it match your prints?

Use the eyedropper, exactly as described in the tutorial.

What? No, I'm just talking about that Levels layer. The one that you're using to balance the ceiling with the wall.

It must be your screen. No weird pixelation visible here.

Yeah, skintone might be too difficult. Blue might be our only option. Could you post a closeup?

Hmmm ... what colour would you prefer under there?

Please forget about the gradient layer for now. We have to get the levels correct first.

Is this happening with all old raw files too?

I'm so sorry, I don't know. This sounds like a computer problem, not just a PS one.

Dust & Scratches filter, maybe at about 4/2.

Not at all. It's great.

Good.

The one you've already got, NOT a new one. Click on the colour you want it to be. That is all.

Now that you've got the mask in place, you can do the eyedropper thing again, to get it a bit more accurate in colour.

No, not the image. The mask. Look at the mask.

Now compare your layer mask to my layer mask, and see if you can notice the itty bitty teensy tiny difference. By "itty bitty teensy tiny" I mean HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you doing???????? Can't you see my mask follows the line of the corner of the ceiling?
