  1. I think it might be. Can we see the SOOR? (all raw editing done, but no photoshop work)
  2. The loading speed was the main issue. People would add a bunch of fancy elements and bog their page down. Slow to load webpages are often overlooked when your potential clients are trying to find you for the first time.
  3. Not at this time. What part of the tutorial are you getting stuck on?
  4. Were you following these instructions? Also, can you check your colorspace of your files real quick? Just want to make sure that they are in sRGB. That tutorial is here. And finally, you don't use the ICC profile from the lab to calibrate. Ignore that for now.
  5. As long as you are ok with the fact that its very likely it might not work with your new monitor. If money is tight, I'd consider saving a bit more to get one of the newer devices.
  6. It's been ages since I've used a CD for anything but music, but I *believe* you cannot just edit a file that is on a CD. I do believe Damien uses (or use to use) CDs for archiving, so I'll let him answer that one.
  7. Have you moved the images to your computer yet, or are they still on the CD?
  8. I found a solution on the Adobe Forums: Let me know if this works!
  9. Too large for the forum you mean? We will definitely look into that if that's the case!
  10. Hooray! Now that Musea matches your monitor, do you still notice a color shift when you softproof?
  11. You'd go with the top one. But holy cow! Why is your monitor so bright? There is no way that matches your prints, right?
  12. It shouldn't make a difference if you are able to control the light in your room and there is no light directly hitting your screen. If you're worried about light leaking under the sensor and interfering with your results then you can always drape a light dish cloth over the monitor while the device is taking its readings.
  13. This might be why your metals seemed overly magenta too! (they looked fine to me) Sounds like you'll need to calibrate again. Do you have the instructions handy for your device?
  14. Oh good! Glad to hear you have the correct scanner. Image Processor is located under Tools > Photoshop and should be pretty self explanatory to use.
  15. I don't have any personal experience with slides, however from what I understand you need a special type of scanner to process these images. I'd scan them at whatever the best file type is (I'm guessing it'll be tiff). After you have your files scanned and safe on your computer, then it should be a simple matter of using Image Processor via Bridge to batch save jpeg copies to share with your friends and family.
  16. Yeah, it might be. How do the prints compare to your screen without softproofing turned on? Also, can you pull your Miller's prints out and see if they still match your monitor without softproofing?
  17. Can you explain more what you meant by this? I see Damien touched on it already - you don't use ICC profiles to softproof. Were you using the same method to assess your calibration with Millers? This might account for why your Musea prints seem much warmer.
  18. I don't know anything about those lenses, but I highly recommend looking at 6d instead of the 70d. It's not much more and the 6d is an amazing camera. My 70d often left me frustrated because of the issues I had with noise all the time.
  19. All of Damien's articles can be found at www.damiensymonds.net Any bookmarks you have to old articles should redirect to his new website.
