@farrah I figured it out! (Well, found the answer.) It's simply because your (and my) Properties panel isn't wide enough.

The basis of it is, yes.

You'll need to provide me with a photo (of yours) with some more shadow areas, I reckon.

Right ... but aren't those shitty colours most evident in the dark areas of the photos?

Are you talking about the flat shadow areas?

Yep! Have you finished reading the Advanced Black-and-White Class yet?

They're both so good, but I think I slightly lean towards the Spyder. However, honestly, they're neck-and-neck. So if you find one on special, get it.

As far as I know the Ultra is only for super-bright screens, isn't it? That doesn't apply to photographers.

When using Windows, screenshots are captured with your monitor profile embedded, rather than the correct image profile. And you're right, this is definitely a problem. However, I've never explored third-party screenshot apps. Maybe there's one that captures colours correctly?

The method depends on what the original background looks like.

Two layers: First, a Channel Mixer layer at 60% opacity: Green channel changed from 0/+100/0/0 to 0/0/+100/0 Then a Hue/Saturation layer at 100% opacity: Reds 0/+25/0 Cyans -10/-60/0 Learn more about this in the Creativity Class.

This?

Something like this, I guess? https://max.mailbigfile.com/a7397354efa14dee19a7ade902a9fe09/listFiles.php

Gee, I dunno. Maybe something like this?

See how this looks: Channel Mixer layer: R 0, +95, 0, +5 G 0, +100, 0, 0 B 0, +100, 0, 0

You still have the raw files in your backup though, right?

Well, if you make your layer panel thumbnails bigger (by clicking on the little submenu then choosing "Panel Options") does it help with your confusion?

Is part of the problem that you have such small thumbnails in your layers panel?

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. I can see two red rectangles there?

Not at all. Thank you so much.
