  1. That's not the "generic" I was referring to.
  2. I wish your bulbs gave a broader "spread of light" if you know what I mean. Very directional light like that can be problematic. But it looks like you've chosen the best position in the circumstances. Lights above your head is ideal, and the wall is nice and neutral in colour.
  3. That's a good one, yes. But make sure you do your own research, to make sure it works with your computer.
  4. Yes, X-Rite, exactly as I said. https://www.damiensymonds.net/which-monitor-calibrator-to-buy/
  5. I've read that the Spyders can't calibrated the M1s at all. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253440632 I don't know if that's still the case. But if it is, then you'll need to look at the X-Rite devices.
  6. Ok, then try another one.
  7. You tried a different lab? Yes, and I told you:
  8. Not my article, Ted.
  9. Of course they can, as long as the images are all hosted on a common shared drive that everyone can access.
  10. Hi @ted939, thank you. If you take another look, you'll see that that isn't my article. My friend Christina wrote it. I love her, but she's wrong about this. Lightroom is a steaming pile of shit.
  11. The faces look nice and alive in your files. You'd better try a different print lab.
  12. Please read this and make the necessary changes: https://www.damiensymonds.net/working-with-dual-screens-windows-10/
  13. Could you send me one or two of the album page files? https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/BellePhotography

  15. Do this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html
  16. Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. As I said, the success of restoration is entirely dependent on the quality of the scan. A normal home/office scanner doesn't cut it. Do you know if there is a professional scanning service near where your sister lives?
  17. No, I mean do you have the actual physical photo? Are you holding it in your hand right now?
  18. It says 300ppi right there. That's what you use. Crop your files to 5x7 inches at 300ppi, then save at level 10 quality as it says - NOT maximum. I wouldn't use the purple flower photo, because there's too much chance that it'll be out of gamut. Any or all of the other prints are fine.
  19. The hell they are. NEVER send full original resolution files to print. Always crop them to the exact size and resolution you intend to print. What resolution does your lab ask for?
  20. Yeah, don't worry about coating.
  21. I wouldn't add any coating. Lustre should just be an option for the paper type?
