Whoa! No, you must NEVER clone on the background layer! Add a new blank layer to clone on. Also, turn off the layer group above while doing so.

Sarah?

Is this happening on every PSD you try?

Do you still have the other cameras? Can you do the testing and show us?

Sure.

This doesn't sound like a calibrator issue to me. Have you calibrated other screens with this calibrator?

Of course, they all should be calibrated. To avoid inter-office miscommunications about colour. But the designer's one is the one that really matters.

I see nothing wrong here. Just normal raw noise. Easily removed in your software.

Yes, but that's only true if the designer's monitor is adhering to the international colour standards. That's where calibration comes in. Once the designer is calibrated, then they have ammunition in any arguments that inevitably arise about print quality. If a designer's screen isn't calibrated, and they get a print batch back from the printer, and the colours aren't what the designer wanted, they don't have a leg to stand on, you see? They don't know if the printer messed up, or if their own screen is wrong. Once they're calibrated, they can be confident that their screen is right; therefore they can take proactive steps to sort out the printing problem. This will usually involve correct use of CMYK profiles, but that's a conversation for a later time. I won't discuss that now.

Every workplace should have it. As long as they buy a top-line calibrator such as the X-Rite i1Display Pro, it can do as many computer as they need. This is an excellent idea, no drawbacks whatsoever.

Can you paint out the private parts before posting here?

May we see?

Well yeah, because I'm way outta ideas here, sorry.

That's right, nobody can.

Don't bother posting photos, it doesn't help a bit.

What do you mean by "got brighter"? When, exactly?

@kismet72, this is really really bad. You need to have at least 1/3rd free hard drive space at all times.

I'll be a hell of a lot less nervous once I know you are doing it. I shudder to think of all the damaged files you've already processed. Well, not processed.

it might have been this one?

Gee, it's supposed to be the least red of all the options. This is grim news.

Have you tried calibrating to 6500K? http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/13s4p08.gif

Never without at least doing this.

Can you describe the problem to me? In what way does the screen differ from the prints?

Make sure, though, that you only apply the filter just as strongly as you need, and no stronger. Applying the filter at the correct amount at 100% opacity gives different (and better) results than applying it overly strong at lower opacity.

No, it sounds like an excellent approach to me.
