Whoa. You must NEVER convert to black-and-white by making your photo Grayscale mode. That's really bad.

Yes, that's where I'd be investigating.

Fellow Thermomixer here I think the bedroom looks better.

I don't think it has been asked before It's new to me. It seems just as likely to be a mouse issue as a keyboard one. Are you using a mouse, tablet or trackpad?

Hi Nicole, do you mind posting the actual files of those photos also? Thanks.

When you choose the Ellipse tool, look at the Options Bar. Somewhere up there (probably close to the left-hand end, but it varies by version) there will be an option for "Shape/Path/Fill". You have to make sure yours is set to Path. Also, make sure, in the Layers panel, you have the layer mask selected, not the layer thumbnail. I mean, click on the white box thumbnail to make sure it has a little border around it.

Just to check, you've watched my video?

What??? Because it's tiny, of course!!! I didn't give you that file just to use. I gave it to you so you could copy the steps on your own full-size file.

Good, but you'll also need to paint (at low opacity) on the pink cast on the floor too.

Yeah, err towards 1800 if you can. Gee, how blue?

Gosh, great work. Well done.

Well, it depends on the situation. If you cloned something in the right place, but just the wrong colour or whatever, simply clone over it. But yes, if you cloned onto an area that wasn't supposed to be cloned onto, masking.

Channel Mixer layer: Red 0, +55, 0 Green 0, +47, 0 Blue 0, +55, 0 Then start the very painful masking.

How did you go? May we see?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/195567190503489/permalink/620088411384696/ I do intend to convert that thread into a proper article ... I haven't got around to it yet, sorry. There are a few ways to accomplish this, so let me know if you need to discuss further.

Jolene?

No I don't, sorry. I would simply remove all colour from the dummy, and live with it.

It reminded me of this one.

As long as you shot raw, you'll be fine. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/07/raw-noise-removal.html http://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/10/noise-reduction-and-sharpening-leap-of.html

To be honest, very often it shouldn't matter. It all depends on which blend mode you use.

Well, I haven't made videos for the same reason I haven't written any tutorials. Because every situation is different.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Sun on faces is a Photoshop matter, and Photoshop editing must not be done until raw processing is completed. Please do so, then post in the Raw Class for my approval.

How odd. Ah well, no biggie. Use Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor instead.

Oh, I'm so sorry, no, there isn't. Never mind, cloning will do.
