Oh gee, you must NEVER use that function!!!!! It's terribly flaky. Only use File>Scripts>Image Processor.

I guess I don't need to tell you this is a disaster. How many photos like this do you have to edit?

I hope so too. She seems a bit unreasonable to me. I still don't understand where you were seeing that option?

Please post the actual photo, not a screenshot. (Screenshots aren't colour-managed, you see.)

Download the PSD The first layer is self-explanatory - it's the one I used to clone and heal out the line down the left side. Even though this layer is first in the stack, it's actually the last thing I did. The second and third layers are this method. The fourth and fifth layers were to mimic the baseboard from the other side. The sixth layer is the all-important noise layer which must be used when adding gradients. The seventh layer is a chunk of carpet from the other photo you gave me, and the eighth layer was to darken that carpet a bit.

Actually, I think this is better, I cloned out the line on the left: Give me a few minutes and I'll upload the psd.

I'd need to see a 100% crop to be certain, but from your description, it sounds like chromatic aberration.

Ok, how about this?

I have to put the kids to bed. Back a bit later.

No, it's ok for now.

Gee, every time you save an image for web, make sure the "Embed Color Profile" checkbox is checked. (Might also be called "ICC Profile"). Not to do so is very risky.

Hmmm ... did you get any photos with the floor visible? On either side. I want to know what the baseboard and carpet (?) look like.

It's my pleasure.

You'll need to try to copy and flip the other eye, I think. The glare as it stands is too severe to fix. Oh, and dust and scratches filter for the specks all over the image.

If you can provide me a version with no red channel clipping in the shirt, I can help you achieve this: I'm so sorry I can't help you with the raw processing part. I give very freely of information on this site, except where it directly coincides with my classes.

No, I just want to red channel clipping. Nothing at 255. Please get on the list if you're not already, I beg you.

Gosh, well done!!!!!

Oh no! Big problem. Please fix it.

How did you fare?

I selected a big chunk of the bottom half of the photo, and duplicated it onto its own layer. Then I reduced the opacity and moved it down by one button distance, if you know what I mean. I made sure a button lined up. Then I masked that layer in as best I could. Then I added a cloning layer for all the little areas that weren't perfect. Download the PSD file

Let's try this first. Also, do this for me.

You're welcome.

"Big problem" is a link.

Oh dear. Big problem.
