Sorry for delay - thanks Brian. I will try doing that.

now next question. I had been saving the newly calibrated profile with the date just so I could remember when I last calibrated (i know - kind of OCD), and so have built up a number of them. I thought I remembered something else you wrote about getting rid of them. Can you tell me where in my OS they live, please?
-
that's it - thank you:)

I actually am using the HDMI port - that's what you told me to set it up with when I got the monitor:)

Hi D -
First - Hope that you're ok and that you recover from your minor surgical procedure quickly.
Second - a long time ago, you had provided a profile we could use to click on to change the display and then we would click on the calibrated profile to give it a kick start. Hope this makes sense to you and that you can figure out what I'm talking about. The reason I am asking about this is that my monitor display just recently turned purple/magenta and I just calibrated it last night. Today - it was fine one minute and then the next it changed to this strange color. I ended up shutting down the monitor and the computer and it seemed to be normal, but thought maybe it needed a kick (in the pants) start to make sure it didn't happen again!

Hey Brian -
I calibrated my monitor as usual last night and everything was fine. When I turned on my computer on this morning, everythng was fine. All of a sudden though, everything turned magenta! Not sure if I did anything to it or it just happened. This was a replacement monitor after the original I had gotten about three years ago was not calibrating correctly so Dell sent me a refurbished one. Hoping it's nothing serious or permanent and that maybe you'll have some insight. Thanks!

Thanks for posting these links - Brian. I have been thinking about switching and this info is helping:)

Got it. And you're right- your toggle definitely made my screen look hideous. Haha
thanks again for your help:)

Hi Damien - I was reading your tute on "Windows operating system, and monitor calibration," and I have a question regarding the placement of the downloaded file. I never know where the best place is to put these kind of files. You said to put it someplace handy - is that so that it is easily accessible?
Is my desktop ok for this or do you have a better suggestion?
Thanks!

1) Thank you
2) Sounds good
3) I have and so I will do step 5 (stamp visible layer so I can do my healing, etc.) That article is actually on my tool bar at the top of my screen so I can access it quickly.
4) I'm a dork.
Thanks for your help and for not laughing at me:)

Hi Damien - I tried this tutorial for the first time. A few questions:
1) Does the image look ok following the work I did? Do you think it can look any better? I tried to line up the outside lines with the grid as much as possible and rotated slightly. Then I trimmed per your directions.
2) In your example, you made him appear less stumpy - was the "stumpiness" due to the perspective correction you did? In my image, it didn't look like it had done anything to the girl.
3) Also - is there anything else I need to do before I go on to editing the rest of the image? (i.e. Does it just stay as the smart object to which I transformed it prior to doing the perspective correction?)
4) How do I get rid of the grid lines now?

Greta - I'll take a look. Thanks again!

HI D - I thought I read somewhere that if I hold down the shift button while sizing with the corner handles, it will keep the correct proportions of the photo. Is that correct? I tried it, and it seemed to be okay but I just wanted to confirm that it was actually holding the shift key down and not just luck.
Thanks - Jennifer

Been a long time since I needed to do this. in the article where it says -
"Then I placed them on top of each other in Photoshop …" how do I do that? I processed one and left it as a raw file in photoshop, then I went to bridge and processed the other one. Just forgot how to place the one layer on top of the other.
-
update - file saves are going much quicker! Thanks!

OK - I will do that - thank you!

yes - i installed this extra internal hard drive after I purchased the PC from Dell:)
-
Good to know. So should I keep them on my seagate or my actual c drive while I'm working on them?

Yes. It's absolutely fine to leave all Graphics Processor stuff turned off.
I think it should be on "all images". I don't think it's a good idea to have a difference between preview and output, if you know what I mean.
How many hard drives do you have on your computer? I have left my cache at 1GB, but made a cache folder on D drive instead, so it doesn't interfere with the programs running on C drive. I don't know how technically correct this is, but it seems to work ok for me.
I have three. The Seagate barracuda is an extra installed hard drive (which Brian had suggested when I purchased the computer components) and then external portable dell. I am probably not using the barracuda correctly (or as Brian had intended), and I work on my files on the portable Dell. So maybe that is the problem of Bridge running somewhat slow for me.

Hi Damien - I was working on a jpeg image in ACR (raw not available on the underwater camera I was using) and got the following error message (1st image). Called Dell (bc I have premium support through them), and he updated the driver. After it was updated, I went back to bridge to pull up the same image, and I got another error message (2nd image). I hit ok and went to the camera raw preferences dialog and got the following options (3rd image). I did indeed click on use graphics processor. Seems to be working now, but my first question is - is all this ok?
2nd question while I'm in this menu - under the general section - there's a box that says "apply sharpening to all images" and the scroll down option is to "preview images only." Which one should I have checked?
3rd question - under the camera raw cache, it has the max size set to 1GB. I thought I read somewhere that if you lower this, it will speed bridge up - not sure if I read it here or somewhere else. Should I leave this where it is?
Thanks!

Thank you. Me, too. I actually liked the colormunki better than the spyder4pro. It seemed a little easier to use (which is good for the technologically impaired such as myself)! Lol

It did show that it was measuring the contrast and then it measured the brightness before it went to the menu for adjusting the brightness. I ran it a second time to lower the brightness from 100 to 90, and it skipped right to the brightness adjustment again.

Hi Damien - I found the first one on pinterest but there is no photographer's name attached. Would this work for my image?
