You didn't post a SINGLE photo in class. I sure hope you're not telling people "I took Damien's Raw Class but it didn't help me". Of COURSE it didn't help you, you didn't post any photos. Take the damn class again, and USE IT THIS TIME.

I have no record of you in my raw class. How long ago was it?

It doesn't matter. YOU MUST HAVE SOME PRO LAB PRINTS. https://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_starthere.html

Yes, but printer calibrators are REALLY expensive. Eg this one.

Because your home printer isn't calibrated, of course!

Oh, gee, no, NEVER use your home prints for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only use pro lab prints. Do you have any?

Correct.

Does it match your prints?

It's all about modifying the background that's already there, so that the new background can blend fairly seamlessly. Download PSD

Nothing overly red about them to me.

Can't you just post them here?

Yes, I would do that. Let's not get into a panic just because of one set of prints.

Ok, great! So you've just been sent a bad print batch, yeah? It happens sometimes.

But did your screen used to match those prints exactly?

And? Does your screen still match them?

First things first - have you got out some older prints to compare to the screen as well? Some ones that you know used to match?

Yep, use the latest version of Bridge CC.

Ok, cool.

Don't keep me in suspense! How did it go?

Absolutely. 100% brightness is WAY too high. Follow my exact calibration instructions. They'll tell you when to adjust the brightness.

Only laptop screens use this Display Options window to adjust brightness. And yours isn't a laptop screen.

Perfect, thanks. So Samsung screens have that stupid little joystick button on the back, and that's how you access the screen controls like brightness (and colour and stuff). The button is described on page 10 of the manual.

No, that's the info about your computer. I want to know about the screen. What make/model is it?

@shalea what screen do you have?
