Can you find an example photo that has some greenery in it, like yours does?

Well you'll need to invest in a printer calibrator for that.

Oh, phew. Well, those are the ones you have to compare to your screen, to make sure your screen matches them.

No, it's the print from the lab from some time ago that I want. Do you have it?

Do you have control prints from a pro lab?

Talk to me, @IJK. In what way does your screen differ from your prints?

No, you're definitely not.

Let's not worry about this yet. Concentrate on your raw processing please. How far through the class are you?

19".

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.
