  1. Well yeah, because I'm way outta ideas here, sorry.
  2. Don't bother posting photos, it doesn't help a bit.
  3. What do you mean by "got brighter"? When, exactly?
  4. @kismet72, this is really really bad. You need to have at least 1/3rd free hard drive space at all times.
  5. 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.
  6. it might have been this one?
  7. Gee, it's supposed to be the least red of all the options. This is grim news.
  8. Have you tried calibrating to 6500K? http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/13s4p08.gif
  9. Never without at least doing this.
  10. Can you describe the problem to me? In what way does the screen differ from the prints?
  11. 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.
  12. No, it sounds like an excellent approach to me.
  13. Sorry, Channel Mixer won't work here, because all the channels are damaged. The best I can suggest (and it's not particularly good) is Dust & Scratches filter at about 3/2, then the "Colour Fix" layer from the Handyman Method for the leftover bits of colour.
  14. Hi Elke, what about the obstruction in the bottom left? Somebody's hair, I think? What's your plan for that?
  15. Of course. Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor. I discussed Image Processor in this.
  16. If the Quick Selection Tool works, that's great! (And surprising). For the times when it doesn't, this is the next fastest method. Just add a white Solid Color layer, invert the mask, then shift-paint around the edge and fill the rest with the paint bucket. Very fast.
  17. Essentially, the D&S filter is a way of shortcutting the first part of this method. Now you can do the second part - the Hue/Saturation layer.
  18. This is my usual go-to method for tan lines.
  19. Yes, of course you could just do one layer and mask. But if you do it that way, you have to mask every.single.strand.of.hair.on.her.head. And that would drive anyone to insanity. This way, you only have to mask the hairs you don't want. Have you read this? You actually did the right thing here. If you'd remembered to bring a comb, this would have been dead easy.
  20. May I see?
  21. Try Dust & Scratches filter at 15/5 and see what you think.
  22. "Convert to sRGB" and "Embed Color Profile" must be checked, always.
  23. Don't worry about either Progressive or Optimized. Convert to sRGB is good, but of course shouldn't be necessary, because your files should already be sRGB.
