PLEASE don't wait too long to join the Raw Class, I beg you For now, let's pretend this is okay. Can you provide me with a new close-up?

iPhone is fine.

Yeah, no, that can't POSSIBLY be right. I'm sure he doesn't have blue hair in real life.

I don't think so. May I see the whole photo?

It won't be completely fixable, but I can certainly help you reduce it. Go ahead and do your raw processing as normal, then post the close-up again for me.

Yes, I think this is the best option. I talked about how to deal with text in the class. I guess you need to read Module 9 again?

I'm glad Rohan is here, because I don't know a damn thing about Pixieset.

All of your questions are COMPLETELY irrelevant until you've done that print comparison.

I'm confused - have you, or have you not, verified your calibration result by comparison to pro lab prints?

Are you following my calibration instructions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/

No.

You have a Macbook, yes?

Darn

Hang on, have you tried plugging it in to a different USB port? Or a different computer entirely? Let's not run out and buy a new calibrator straight away.

Are you sure you've got the device plugged in to your computer? It usually shows "Demo" until you do. Regarding tutorials, see if it matches this one: https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/58525-ccdp-m01/

Yep, do exactly what it says. Head to the Calibrite website to get the new software from there.

xmp files are created even when you just apply star ratings to files. If you'd starred them before starting, that's probably what the xmp files are for.

It's what I'm using now. I like it.

How did you go, @Mary Burgy?

Great. If you have a photo open right now, ready to prepare for web, tell me about it. What file format is it? Does it have layers?

Okay, can you read this and let me know when you have done so? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/02/selling-digital-images.html

Yep.

No, as long as you're not hoping to use the wall with your white balance dropper.

So ... why HAVEN'T you updated Photoshop?
