Jacinta B Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi Damien- I am losing my mind 😳 I am halfway through bridge- just waiting on test prints and also working in your RAW class too. I have a client waiting on her images and I just cannot learn fast enough and edit in time- I need to get some images to her ASAP and need to crop a couple - when I am in PS and done with my edit- do I just simply merge all layers and then Crop? I am terrified of stuffing it all up - I wish I could do your class full time! I have completely changed my whole edit process to follow you but learning time available is crippling me Of course I could just google this- but I know how you feel about that - and honestly I just want to follow you so I don't end up more confused 🤣 I have done the Marquee tool test and my crop comes in at 5300 x 3700 or there about, leaving me with 20280000 pixels (if I have calculated that correctly) and the other thing is- standard image sizes for print... thats a new one too. I used pixieset until now and NEVER even thought about it. I got the feeling I will be resending all my client galleries out again done "the Damien Way" 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Once the layered file is saved as a PSD, then yes, flatten the layers, crop to print size, sharpen, then save as a jpeg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinta B Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 I don't know how to do your sharpening yet- should I just sign up now and figure it out tonight? It is on my list of classes to do ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 No, it's not a quick class to take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just have to accept she will get a gallery that I will no doubt re edit one day soon The client is aware that I am completely changing the way I edit so I guess some now some later will have to be it! It has been great using a client gallery as learning files though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
