Ok. Now go to Edit>Assign Profile. In the drop-down menu in that window, I want you to briefly try every available profile option. They will make the image all kinds of wild colours. I don't mind about that. All I want to know is if any of the profiles make the banding disappear.

Then I fear you'll just have to live with this, sorry

No trouble.

Ok, let's continue using that photo to troubleshoot. Further down that page is the download link for my PSD file. Can you download it and open it in Photoshop, then let me know when you have done so?

I figure that the first and best approach would be to saturate the sky in raw, where the data is more robust.

Gee, that's a really good screen, I think. It definitely shouldn't band. Do you see banding in this photo?

No, it's too old. It won't be compatible with either your operating system or your monitor.

Well, you'd need a wave photo to use, wouldn't you? I'm sorry, this is way beyond me. I'm throwing this open to everyone, to see who has expertise in this.

Can't you see "Convert profile to sRGB" under the "Save as Jpeg"? Bridge will change your life. Start here, then here.

Ok, to fix that patch of glare, use a Levels layer: Red channel 0/1.00/25 and 0/255 Green channel 35/1.00/255 and 0/245 Blue channel 45/1.00/255 and 0/240 After masking that layer as accurately as possible to the area, you'll probably need to add a new blank pixel layer above it, and gently clone to blend any troublesome edges.

No, not even close.

May I see a screenshot?

Ok, so hers isn't actually white, is it? You'll need to download her photo and get a reading of it.

I'll need to see it close up.

You'd make it white by doing this. However, after you've done so, you might find it doesn't look very good. A very white background makes the subject look dark in comparison. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/10/correcting-eyes-distorted-by-glasses.html

Yes, definitely. It's the best. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/01/web-browsers-and-facebook.html

How did you go, Amy?

No, sorry

Firefox.

No, please, I beg you, don't throw money away that way. Let me teach you how much Elements rocks.

Oh yeah, sorry. That method didn't actually work anyway, even when the link did. Chrome is a bust, don't use it.

Hi Abigail, yes, I think I can help with this. Go ahead and do your raw processing as usual first, then post the photo again (no closeup needed) and we'll discuss.

Darn, sorry, you're right. I wasn't paying enough attention. Ok, may I see a screenshot of your layers panel for the above photos?

What screen do you have?

Yes, a whole class full. Please don't wait any longer.
