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.

In my version, I simply click on this menu: And choose "Make Frames from Layers". Is that what you're trying too?

How is this possible?

Ok, let's take it step by step. First, can you take a photo of the rug, without the basket on top of it, completely filling the frame?

Gosh, this is tough. What do you think of this?

No, now we can see that the boy's white shirt is very different from the other white shirts. Go back to raw and get the white balance right.

Yes, please don't add that conversion step blindly to your workflow.

May I see a screenshot?

If labs ever give you a range for canvas, always go for the lowest possible number. Use 150.

4GB is only half the recommended minimum RAM to run PS CC. I'd recommend beefing that up if you can.

This makes no sense at all.

Yeah!! I think that'll be an easier match already. Can you put 'em together and show me?

Yeah!!!! That looks promising for sure!!!!

Absolutely.

Well, I can tell you that the white balance isn't negotiable. It has to be done correctly, and first, before anything else. I can also tell you that it might be possible to do this.
