Hi Damien! Can you repost this file please?

Good news! I figured it out! I cleared my cache and now it works!

I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop cc. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 798GB free out of 1800GB. The last time I shut down was last night. I run a cleanup program about once a week.

No, no error message. No methods are working.

Yes. I copied them over to their respective folders. The SD cards are no longer in my computer so I know they're on my hard drive.

I hope you can help me. I just loaded a bunch of pics into bridge and I was going through my culling process and the star rating feature isn't working. If I go to a different folder and try it, it works. I wonder why it's not working in these new folders? Please help, I have 9 families from a photo shoot I need to cull and rate. Thanks.

Never mind! I figured it out! I had my image area on dx instead of fx.

I think I have an issue. My RAW files are only showing as 10 to 13 mb on my SD card. Shouldn't they be much larger than that from a D750? I have other RAW photos from previous shoots that are 20mb. Can someone help me with this? I just realized it and have 12 families to shoot tomorrow!!!

I guess so. It converted it to some weird pattern thing with colors but I went to the red channel and used a black brush on the stars that they say aren't suppose to be there and then when I was done I clicked on the IFFT filter to get it back to what you see above. I don't really like it. The texture that was on the photo is the real texture of the original photo. I'm not sure if I really want to get rid of it since it's actually part of the photo. Plus it made the photo darker. Do you know what I mean? I was asking if you thought the adjustments I made so far looked okay. So, ignoring the texture in the photo, is there anything else I could do to the photo? Any advice?

So, here it is on top of the original photo with no other enhancements done on it. Should I have converted it to Black & White first and then run the filter?

Ok.

Happy New Year Damien! I was dabbling a bit with restoring some old photos and was wondering if I could your opinion? Here is a before and after of a roller coaster. Were you planning on doing any classes on photo restoration? If so, I would definitely be interested.

I think it's the way the light hits the handle on the right that throws it off some.

Thanks for the hint! I started over. Is this better?

Right. Is this better?

Hi fixed the background on this and wanted to see if you'd take a look and see if it looks okay and if I missed anything. Thanks

So I talked to the lab. They said I ordered the collage print with no color correction but that I ordered the prints with color correction and that is why the collage print turned out bad because they printed it as is. I find that hard to believe because I ordered prints and canvases in September with no color correction and they turned out just fine, just like my prints usually do. This last batch I ordered through the ROES program which is a download on your computer and stands for "Remote Order Entry System". This was the only way I could order the collage. So then I ordered the prints and canvases (which I haven't received yet) through ROES also. All of the other orders in the past is through the website. They are sending me a voucher for a reprint, but I wonder now. I really don't think it was on my end, Damien. I'm going to do the collage in Photoshop and upload it to the web as a 16x20 print and see how it turns out. I'm a bit bummed because I like this lab, but now I'm just not sure what the heck is going on. I want to be confident that what I'm doing on my end is correct. I have a client that I feel is going to order some canvases and this will be my first big canvas order for a client. The others were me and family that I ordered for.

Yes, I just sent an email and so I will wait to see what they say.

So I got the prints back today and they looked great! So, it was just the collage! Yippee! Also, I really think I was too critical when looking at my prints. I kept re-reading your resources and I was trying to get them to match perfectly. I did calibrate the Asus monitor this morning and going to try editing on this and see what happens. Thanks for your help.

Ok. I'll keep you posted.

I do have an Asus monitor that I use for work right next to my Dell so maybe I'll try that one. If I do, should I calibrate it to match my prints that I have now.

i said they were a tad darker than my monitor but not like these in the collage I just got back. Those were hideous.

I can't really see how I can increase my room lighting. I mean I can turn the lights on but they are on in the evening. I could probably change the bulbs but they already bother my eyes. All of the prints I have ordered previously were great. There is definitely something wrong with these on this collage. I should get the other prints tomorrow and I'll see how those turn out. I'm just nervous about the canvases and I'm also waiting for the group in the metal print I asked you for advice on last week. My canvases I ordered a few weeks ago came back beautiful. I'll let you know.

No. Honestly. No. Now what? Can I be helped? Am I doomed?

So my monitor is on the lowest setting for brightness as it goes. I really don't know if this is correct or not. I'm just not sure what to do here anymore. The target is 120 and I'm at 125 but when I did this earlier it was at 106.
