May I see the "before" as well?

Just tell me, Debbie. What part don't you understand?

@Cindy Young PLEASE come back to class! I haven't seen your photos for ages!

Not enough difference to matter. Concentrate on getting your Mac screen calibrated for now.

Your interface is different from mine, but as far as I can tell, you need to press this:

The focus isn't great, that's for sure. But since it's clearly an action photo, maybe you can get away with it?

Yes please.

Hmmm ... what about mum's face? Is it ok?

I'm very proud too. I don't think they're worth the cash, no. But if you have cash to splash, go for it. I assume you mean a new screen? Not a whole new desktop computer?

Then please concentrate on that for now.

Then you need to read Module 5 of the Layers & Masks Class again.

What? Of course you know how to add a Hue/Saturation layer.

Maybe two Hue/Saturation layers? First Hue/Sat layer on "Soft Light" blend mode, with no adjustments. Second Hue/Sat layer on "Multiply" blend mode, with the "Colorize" checkbox checked, with 30/20/+30 for the three sliders.

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.
