Trying now. To confirm, I mask everything inside the rim of her glasses, correct?

Correct.

Ugh. Not really working either. It just makes her eye look way too big. I guess her head is turned too far for this to be fully corrected, perhaps?

No, I don't agree.  The fix you posted looked perfectly fine to me.

Any time you view at a non-standard zoom this is a risk.  Only use Cmd + and - keys for zooming.

In that case, try doing the enlargement with the point on her pupil instead.

Weird.  Ah well, at least it's working.

You mean the scroll bar isn't there?

And can you see the scroll bar to the right of the photo?

Which web browser are you using?

Ok. I tried WHCC also and their test prints actually came out pretty close to miller's.

Yes, that would seem to confirm what people have been saying lately, that WHCC's quality is slipping.

Hypothetically speaking, if their recommended target is also 5500K, would I do anything to compensate?

Nothing changes.  You need to calibrate such that your screen matches your lab's prints. The numbers are somewhat meaningless.

Windows Viewer isn't colour-managed. Never use it.  Only use Bridge to browse your images.

Millers are crap, you must never use them.

If you google "Wacom circle around cursor" you'll find plenty of hits.

Either it's black-and-white, or it's not.  This is not.

Please show me a screenshot of your layers panel.

The short answer is "no".  You can exaggerate backlight, but it's damned hard to created it out of a front- or side-lit photo.

Now you need a thin but distinct bit of shadowing around the edge of the ground itself.  So it looks a bit indented.

Standard.

I'd probably lower the Lightness slider on a Hue/Sat layer, and paint that on.

Yeah, the bottom (waist) part needs to be a bit darker with shadow, yes?

Good grief, you don't use Curves for that, and you definitely don't use the black eyedropper.

What are you trying to fix?

I really don't know.  But I bet the Pen Tool was heavily involved, either in Photoshop or in Illustrator.

If you can just tidy up the masking where the chain enters the top tag, I'd say it's fine!

And... the prints are slightly warmer. So, theoretically, if I need to warm up the screen images to match my prints, I would go down to the next lowest preset - which happens to be 5000K - is that correct?

Yep, correct.

For the area, I don't have any magic tricks for you, sorry.  You'll just need to copy one stripe at a time from further down his chest, move and rotate it into position, then mask it in, and lighten it as needed.  It'll be very painstaking.

Here's a PSD showing one step of the many steps involved in this.

In more ways than you know.
