Yes please.

Then why does this look so terrible? May I see the whole photo?

Glad we caught it. Now could you do this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread2.html

How did they all go, @jeanbrunsonphotography?

I'm old-school. My off-site backup is literally disks kept at my friend's house (and I keep his disks at my house). Some more info in the second half of this article: https://www.damiensymonds.net/how-do-i-retrieve-lost-or-damaged-images/

Oh crap Tara!!!! https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

PLEASE don't wait any longer.

I'm so sorry, I can't discuss class matters outside of class.

Hi Cindy, are you asking why the light isn't the same in each shot, despite having the same camera settings?

Channel Mixer: R +103, 0, 0, 0 G +83, 0, 0, -5 B +72, 0, 0, -6

STOP USING STUPID FUCKING LIGHTROOM.

Because your files have turned into ProPhoto RGB somehow.

For this one, this Channel Mixer layer: R +100, 0, 0, 0 G +85, 0, 0, -5 B +80, 0, 0, -6

For this one, this Channel Mixer layer: Red +50, +50, 0, +10 Green +50, +50, 0, -7 Red +50, +50, 0, -9 Then clone out the white dots.

If that bothers you, you'll need to do the whole handyman method: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/04/the-handyman-method.html

Some of these are very mild. So let's see if we can get away with the easiest method of all. That is, add a Solid Color layer of good skin colour, and set its blend mode to "Color". Then invert the mask to hide it, then use a 10% white brush to paint it over the blue areas.

Yeah, you have to get that 8.92GB up to at least 58.92, I reckon.

Of course! How far through are you so far? Don't take too long. We need to get you into the Raw Class.

This page will guide you: https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs2.html

When you say "photos done prior" .... how much editing had you done on them? Only raw work, or also some Photoshop work?

Perfect ❤️ Word of warning - that setting can change again without a word of warning, at any time. So every time you open a raw file, always remember to glance down there to check that it's still on sRGB.

To be thorough, could you do this for us? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

Right. That seems to make sense.

Well, yes and no. It's certainly true that way too many people dive straight for these multiple-shot kind of solutions (including HDR) when plain old-fashioned good clean editing will do the job. However, even raw data isn't infallible. It gives you a big tonal range, but it can have blowouts.

Great. Now see at the bottom? Where it says Adobe RGB? That's where you need to click to change it to sRGB.
