    Develop module Mask Intersect Question (I Think)

    Thank you, Johan. You confirmed what I was thinking. However, I did not know that Intersect selected what both masks have in common. Good to know.

    Develop module Mask Intersect Question (I Think)

    Sorry, Johan, for being so nebulous. But it was actually a hypothetical question. No specific photo in mind. In the past I have come across a landscape with a particularly bright element in it, such as a body of water. Clee's idea of using Object Addition/Subtraction might work. Also, it...

    Develop module Mask Intersect Question (I Think)

    I need a bit of guidance on this. Suppose that I have a photo of a landscape surrounding a body of water. How do I create a mask that omits the water? I hope that I am not missing something obvious here. Thank you so much.

    External Editors Calbrite Camera Calibration Plugin for Lightroom

    I have to admit that when I broached the question I had my suspicions (except for "critical" work - whatever that might be) that camera profiles were akin to pixel peeping & other "excessive" concerns that (for more) detract from the enjoyment of photography. Thank you for your responses.

    External Editors Calbrite Camera Calibration Plugin for Lightroom

    Thanks to Rob, I now have a better understanding of the function of a camera profile & its affect on color accuracy. Now for a more pragmatic question... In the realm of amateur photography, how essential is a camera profile? I fully understand that some photographers are passionate (even...

    External Editors Calbrite Camera Calibration Plugin for Lightroom

    Thank you, Rob, for the response. My monitor is calibrated/profiled. I soft proof any images that I send to the lab using the lab's paper/ink profile. So if I understand correctly, by creating a camera profile this enables the camera to more accurately capture the colors being photographed. Am I...

    External Editors Calbrite Camera Calibration Plugin for Lightroom

    I just updated the Calbrite display calibration software to v2.0. A feature of the update includes the Camera Calibration Plugin for Lightroom. After reading the brief explanation of the plugin, I still have no idea what this plugin actually does. Could someone kindly explain what this piugin...

    Develop module Generative Credits Question

    Thanks for the response. I suspect that things are still up in the air. However, my credits renew in a week.

    Develop module Generative Credits Question

    There seems to be some confusion on what happens when one's monthly generative credits are used prior to the monthly renewal date. Do the generative tools in LrC & PS no longer work? Adobe seems to imply that one can continue to use the generative tools. If so, I can only assume that there must...

    Print module Soft Proof & Export Workflow

    Clee & Conrad: Gentlemen, I honestly enjoy the discourse between you both. Although I am obviously not well-versed on the subject of color management, I have come to realize over time that the path toward an optimal print-to-screen match is somewhat of a moving target. And in my quest to find...

    Print module Soft Proof & Export Workflow

    Johan & Clee: Thank you for taking the time to help clear the fog. I think that I am getting my head around this. I plan to have a conversation with the lab regarding their requirements & what they do on their end once they receive my exported images.

    Print module Soft Proof & Export Workflow

    Clee & Conrad: I follow both of your comments. Correct me if I am wrong, but I see a discrepancy here. If I understand Clee, he is saying that if I use the paper/ink profile of the lab (i.e. Noritsu Luster) when I soft proof, then I should use the same profile when I export. Conrad, on the other...

    Print module Display Calibration/Profiling Question

    OK, I think that we are on the same page. Let me see if I got this. Once I am done soft proofing I can export the file directly to my desktop, thus, bypassing the Print module altogether. In the Export dialog>File Settings>Image Format, I can select TIFF. Also in Color Space be sure that Adobe...

    Print module Soft Proof & Export Workflow

    This topic might be something that others would benefit from as well. I have been exporting my images to a lab for quite a few years. And I have been quite pleased with the results. However, I have wondered whether my soft proofing & exporting workflow is optimal. So I am hoping to get some...

    Print module Display Calibration/Profiling Question

    Clee: Thank you for the thorough response. I have no intention of abandoning my colorimeter whatsoever. And I re-calibrate on a monthly basis with the colorimeter. Your explanation of displays vs. paper as being transmitive (is that a word?) vs. reflective is consistent with my past...

    Print module Display Calibration/Profiling Question

    When I soft proof the file, I use the lab's profile (namely, Noritsu33_Luster_032908) & tick the "Simulate Paper & Ink" checkbox. Thus, when I export the file assumingly that profile is embeded. Please correct me if I am wrong. The file is sent as a JPEG. The file is sent as an RGB. In the...

    Print module Display Calibration/Profiling Question

    I agree that the white point should stay at D65 namely because that was the settings I used for years on my previous display with no significant issue of prints being too warm. However, on that previous display I noticed that the prints were darker than the soft proofed image on the screen when...

    Print module Display Calibration/Profiling Question

    I recently got a BenQ SW272Q display & calibrated it with a CalBrite (X-Rite i1Display Pro. After soft proofing the images in LrC, I sent them to the lab for printing. When I compared the prints to the screen, the prints were both darker & warmer. (BTW, I soft proofed the images & evaluated the...

    White Fringe Removal

    In order to use Synchronize Folder, I have to know the location of the particular folder where the image is (I assume this would be on the hard drive since I am trying to import the image back into LrC). Unfortunately, I have no idea where that folder would be. However, in the process of looking...

    White Fringe Removal

    I understand. I suspect that the reason that I never encountered this issue before is because all imagesa that I sent to PS were RAW files. I will followup on your suggestion to use Synchronize Folder. Thank you.

    White Fringe Removal

    Johan: Thank you for the response. I do save the image as a tiff. If I understand you correctly, simply saving the PS-edited image as a tiff will not export back into LrC. Am I correct? Although I do not use PS often, I am not sure that I experienced this before.
