Yes, but only VERY lightly.

Oh gosh, that is unfortunate, isn't it? Still, I think simply adding a blank layer and choosing the Spot Healing Tool (set to "Sample All Layers in the options bar) should get rid of it ok.

Please Marcel, I beg you, take the challenge.

So the pixel dimensions of your file should be 7200x6000, is that correct?

Well, Facebook makes it quite easy for us, they've told us specifically that the best sizes to post are 720px, 960px or 2048px (on the longest edge). More info here. Other websites ... well, you have to delve into their information to find out their recommended sizes. More info here. Sharpening advice here.

It's not sRGB. http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

Terrific. I love a happy ending.

The second-last photo, yours, is lovely. Can you find any VSCO examples that are akin to that? (Outdoors, greenery behind, no harsh light)

Excellent examples of presets being used to "save" terrible photos. Any links to examples of photos that aren't terrible?

Insofar as it's possible to be correct in such horrid mixed lighting, yes, I guess so.

Make sure you adjust the Blue channel on the Levels layer as well as the RGB channel. (In case you missed it.)

Fantastic!!! Now, add a dodge and burn layer underneath the boy layer, and start burning some shadowing on the grass around him.

Hmmm ... yours seems lighter than mine?

The masking is very rough here, but is this what you had in mind?

When you eventually print this, do you intend it to be portrait or landscape?

Then this definitely is a computer problem. How's that space-clearing going?

May I see the entire picture?

Ok, I just tried it in CC. First you have to click on the "Create Frame Animation" button. THEN the appropriate menu items will be available over on the right.

I'm moving this to the General Discussion area, in case somebody else knows the answer to this. What about the menu beside the "Create Frame Animation" button right in the middle of the screen?

Great! That's HUGE. Easily big enough to print on the entire roof of your house, if you wished.

No, CS5 here. May I see a screenshot of that menu open?

Ok, I understand. Yes, turning off DCP would make sense in this case.
