Which keyboard shortcuts have you been trying?

Can you post the result?

This is the best solution I can offer ... Add a Channel Mixer adjustment layer, go to the Blue output channel, and change from 0/0/+100 to 0/+80/0. Then invert the mask, and paint loosely onto the purple areas. Hopefully it will blend well enough to get away with it. This has nothing to do with the class. Just make sure you do your noise removal exactly as outlined in that article.

It goes without saying that you must never commence any Photoshop work until your raw processing is completely finished.

Oh gosh, this is tricky. May I see a closer crop of it?

Sure, I can do that. May I use your photo?

Look, it probably won't make any difference, but since you're in desperate straits, you'd better try it.

Ok, we could get extremely technical about this, but let's try the easy way first. Add a Channel Mixer adjustment layer, click "Monochrome", and enter 0/+100/0. Then begin carefully masking to every ball. Then, you can roughly draw a marquee selection around a ball, add a Solid Color layer of a colour you desire, and change its blend mode to "Multiply", then Cmd Opt G to clip it to the Channel Mixer layer. If there are any other balls you want of that colour, roughly paint on the mask over those balls too. Then make a new layer for the next colour, and so on.

Wait, what? The Do Not Adjust one should have been the very first one you used, wasn't it?

Great. Have you tried varying this setting with each calibration? http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/38.-s5p34.gif

Come on Valentina, help me out here What colour would you like the balls to be? May I see it up close?

Yep, jpegs for sure.

When people talk of "magenta vs yellow" it makes me suspect they're myopically looking at skintones only. Can you promise me you're looking at ENTIRE photos when you're telling me that the print is yellow?

No, come on, these are crazy noisy.

Oh boy. This is going to be a challenge. Go ahead and do your raw processing first, then post it again for me.

Which Spyder4 is it?

Either way would be fine.

Oh gee, the whiskers will make it more complicated, but we'll see what we can do. Go ahead and do your raw processing as usual, then post this 100% crop again for me.

What single colour would you like them to be?

And what will the photos be used for, exactly?

Gee, this is a fat lot of BS. They don't need PDF files. Just send jpegs.

No, you've done exactly the right thing. Your edited master files must be in sRGB, as usual. Converting to CMYK is simply part of the output process, just before saving as jpeg.

No, that's all. You just need to ask exactly what CMYK profile to use. It's just photos? Nothing else?

How many images did you try? Sometimes these kinds of problems are specific to only one file, and sometimes they're widespread. By the way, you must NEVER use the Eraser tool. Ever.
