But as Sam said, it looks awfully dull. Can you post the actual photo now?

This one is sRGB. It's correct.

Did you start by drawing a text box with the Text Tool? That's vital. If you simply clicked then started typing, it won't work.

Well, Bridge might have something in its Preferences about the interface size.

It's really annoying, isn't it?

Print size is completely irrelevant. All that's relevant is what you see on screen. And when pixels are so incredibly tiny that you can't even see them, it makes it darned hard to manipulate them.

This is so true. It's so nice to see somebody else saying it. Did you send Imagenomic the same two screenshots you've posted here?

Oh, this is really really really really really bad. Your image has your monitor's profile. Oh, phew, I see you've fixed it.

Yes ... somewhat ...

I really don't think you have anything to worry about. Your focus fell on the glitter beautifully, so when you sharpen for output (print or web) the glitter will jump out fantastically. Remember, never sharpen during editing. Only for output. May I have some links to other glitter photos you admire?

Please forgive my late reply. I took a rare day off to go to a concert yesterday.

Oh gee, you've got a much bigger problem than stretch marks. Please follow this link to fix it.

To address this question, can you go ahead and do your raw processing first, then post the photo again? By the way, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Lara and I went to a concert yesterday.

Yes, the awful painstaking editing would drive you crazy.

You have to copy each layer I did.

The lady's face is clipped (blown out) like crazy. You'll need to open your raw file and start again. This will print badly. Please, I beg you: http://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge

Ok, how would this be?

Gee, there are a few things weird about this. May I see the SOOR?

First, a Hue/Saturation layer and drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left. Then a Levels layer: 35/0.65/200

Like this?

Or this one http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tsfb000.html

That's very common, and probably means it's correct. But until you get those prints from your pro lab, you can't know.

May I see a 100% crop of her face?

I fear our only chance at this will be to slightly blur the veil so its texture isn't visible. Could you live with that?
