black_roses426 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I so stupidly edited an image in Lightroom using a radial filter (yes, I know, I'm an idiot for using LR!) The image looked beautiful on the screen. Sent it off to print an 8x10 at Bay Photo, and I received it back and there is banding where I used the radial filter to lighten the background while keeping the subject the same exposure. I know 100 things I would do different next time (mostly, uninstalling Lightroom), so my question is, is there anyway to fix this without starting the entire editing process over? Since this image is part of a set and the rest are already printed, I would hate to start over and make guesses about what edits I did to them and have it look slightly different than the rest when printed. FYI, I did the same thing to the other images, but the banding isn't showing up much on them since this is the only print that was ordered at 8x10.

black_roses426 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Also, the bands appear more prominently in this image in Chrome and file explorer than they do in LR/PS... does this mean I have a color space issue? I made sure throughout the process everything was saved or converted to SRGB and the images printed perfect and matched exactly with my monitor.

Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 No, your colour space is fine. Can you send me the exact file you sent to the lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think to be safe, you'd better replace the background, either with a flat light grey that matches the background nearest the baby, or with a gradient layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_roses426 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Will it be possible to preserve the shaddows cast by the eggs and basket if I replace the background though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 No, just the background. Behind the baby. Isn't that where the banding was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_roses426 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yes, that's where the banding is. I guess I was just confused about how replace whole the background without interfering with the shadows. I'll figure it out when I dive into your tutorial head first tomorrow. Thank you so much for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Oh, just blend the mask gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
