Well ... it seems like overkill to me. But hey, if you're loaded, go for it.

Oh rats, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I've moved this question into Brian's section, he'll know how to stop it on a Mac.

Sounds like you're trying to upload full images? That's not what we need, only the 700x700 crops.

I assume it's a matter of hitting Windows S to search your computer's settings, and type "AutoPlay". Then fixing the problem there.

Hi David, can you clarify which program is doing it? In your thread title you said "Bridge", but in the body of your post you said "PSE2020".

@Kristie3 we still would like to see some of your images. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

@sweetmamaof4 PLEASE dive into your Raw Class!

Yeah

I'm sorry it's bad news. For a long time I had an article on my website about the Smile, because I bought one too (for testing purposes). And it was so terrible that I wrote a strongly-worded article warning everyone not to buy it. In my recent overhaul of the website I removed that article because I thought the Smile was safely in the past. I didn't realise it was still haunting some people.

Oh shit. Well, that's why you can't get an accurate calibration. Throw that thing in the bin (it's not even worth selling) and get a proper one.

Ignore the lab profile for now. It's only for photos with very vivid colours. Let's concentrate on what's important. Which calibrator do you have?

Whoa, shit, no, that's NOT how you use a lab profile. This is how you use a lab profile: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/03/bit-about-soft-proofing.html

How did you "use" it? That's a load of crap.

Hang on, did they really request that? What did they say, exactly?

Are you saying that Bridge isn't showing you the thumbnails for your PSD files? That's very unusual.

Nobody will ever know. You did an amazing job.

Looks fantastic!

Yep, now spend some time fine-tuning the masking.

This one

I reckon the new part of the blanket should go entirely behind the old part. Instead of going over in on the left side.

Great! So you can either: simply choose to edit solely on that one, and only use the other (cooler) screen for emails and stuff; or keep going with recalibrations on the cooler screen (continuing to follow the troubleshooting part of my instructions) to try to get it warmer and better.

Which screen matches your prints?

Ok, try again at 70. If that's still too bright, then it definitely means that your room light is too dim.

What brightness target did you use that time?
