Do you think this is passable?

Doesn't have to be 700x700 in this case.

Just to be safe, can you check this for me?

Oh, this is always tricky. May I see the whole photo (or at least a larger section) for reference?

Exactly as the instructions say, yes.

The Handyman Method should handle it just fine.

Then yes, that might indicate that 7415K is too high.

You're already on the waiting list for the Raw Deluxe class. It's the Levels Deluxe I wish you'd upgrade to. For now, let's pretend that the baby is light enough (it's NOT) and press ahead with a Cooling Filter LBB for its skin.

What? Your photo should have already been in sRGB. http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

Tell her that you will be sending the file at the dimensions and resolution required, but in sRGB mode. You will require them to perform the CMYK conversion, and you will hold them responsible for the resultant print quality.

Ask her AGAIN. I need you to fully appreciate how catastrophically BAD your photo will look if printed in the wrong CMYK profile.

No, the baby is still very dark.

Did you try 25/6 as I suggested?

And that's not enough. You need to demand more information from them. You need to know exactly which CMYK profile to use.

I wish I had some kind of magic trick for you. I don't, sorry Just very patient low-opacity cloning.

What don't you understand? Did you find the Table of Contents? Actually, the more pertinent question is, did you get my email after you signed up?

Let's go back a few steps. Have you found out which CMYK profile they need you to use?

At first (even though I know it's hard) ignore the jaundice. Just do your regular levels work on the whole photo, then post it again for me.

The Handyman Method would have worked too.

When people ask for TIFF files, it means they think they know something about digital images. What it actually means is that they're morons who don't know anything. However, it's easier just to give them what they want, than to try to educate them. It's not worth the effort. Just give him the TIFF files.

That really shouldn't happen.

The flare fix will be a Photoshop matter, so please make sure you've done your raw processing first.

No, never make that mistake. Your prints are correct. Your screen has to match them, period.
