No, don't do the marquee thing. It's limiting yourself too much later, in terms of print shapes. Take the time to mask the background around the WHOLE horse.

No, read Module 11 again.

It might be ok. Better to err high than low.

Have you done this yet?

Gosh yes, when you print a photo that tiny, it forces you to examine it much more closely than a larger photo. I'd say you're noticing the printing dots that have always been there, you've just never looked closely before.

Yes, this.

I am. That's ALL I'm worried about. How many pro lab prints do you have there?

I'm running Win10 on heaps of devices here, and all are going beautifully. I know some people have reported problems, but I haven't experienced them. I don't miss Windows 8.

Well, just re-open one of the files you uploaded here, and look a the Document Profile section in the bottom left corner of Photoshop.

It sure is mysterious. Everything you've shown us indicates that your files should be in RGB mode ... yet we can't deny the evidence in front of us - the files you first uploaded are definitely Grayscale mode.

Can you show me a screenshot of the Save As screen?

Do you save your web images using the Save for Web and Devices feature, or plain Save As?

Second, I need to know if you can see banding on the raw files, when you're editing them in your raw program.

Hi Wendy, Banding is a little tricky to diagnose, but stick with me. I'm going to ask you a series of questions so we can get to the bottom of it. First, I need you to tell me what screen you have. (By the way, no, don't repaint. White is perfect.)

What size is it presently?

Hi Nancy, is this a problem that has suddenly occurred? Can you pinpoint how long ago?

Yep, I can help with this. Go ahead and do your raw processing, then post the photos again, and also 100% crops of the problem area.

Ok! Glad we figured it out.

Hey, it looks great!

Well, I started by eyedroppering from the other photo, then just played around a bit until it looked nice. May I see the outcome?

Click the "Advanced" button on the right-hand side.

Yep, I agree. No greenish there. Time to try some new labs.

Try a Levels layer ... Red channel 0/0.50/255 and 0/160 Green channel 0/1.00/255 and 0/235 Blue channel 0/1.15/245 and 0/255
