I am interested. Jim Gray

I have updated my late 2017 iMac to Big Sur. Doing that resolved a major problem with Adobe Camera Raw where some sliders would not work and images that were not blurry displayed blurry. There were ot

I recently had problems with ACR that were really annoying me. Basically many images were displaying on my iMac as blurry when viewed in ACR, many sliders did not work, sometimes the file being edited

Dan, Good luck with your cataract surgery. Over 15 years ago I had cataract surgery. I noticed a huge difference between the two eyes during the couple of weeks between the surgeries. I was told that

I would like to see the group continue and would pay for that privilege. James Gray

Rick Gordon via groups.io 3:37 PM (29 minutes ago) to colortheory RG: Isn't the repeated "Camera sensors are color-blind—they see only brightness" statement a bit misleading? JG: I never heard this ph

DM: However, in this day and age there is less specialization. Anybody who knows this field can expect to be asked to correct almost anything. Yesterday, I got a whole slew of such ancient images dump

Dan, I really appreciated you doing this. As others have noted the exercises were quite like your ACT course. I learned a lot even though I did not create multiple versions in most cases or actually f

I did not find it difficult to improve contrast in the rose using channel blending and by darkening the rose. That killed some of the saturation. The hard part for me was knowing how far to go. I gues

I was surprised mine (1001) compared as well with the others as it did. I was fairly satisfied with it when I submitted my revised version. Portraits are just not something I have been good at. I was

I am confessing that 815 is mine. In case anyone is interested, I finally went back and looked at what I did that caused the local contrast that Dan did not care for. Most of the local contrast that s

I am not so much afraid of telling which is mine. I was wondering if anyone would praise it or pan it before I revealed which is mine. It is interesting that those commenting have mentioned many they

I will stick my neck out. I like 812, 824, and 829 the best. I think that 812 is better than the par version. I also like my version. I am not saying what number it is yet. James Gray

Very interesting. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. Based on my experience, DeNoise AI seems optimized for use on digital files straight out of a digital camera. On scans of my ol

Dan, Thanks for the very specific advice. I have not yet attempted to go back and create an alternate version or to just color correct the final image. I did try auto color on the image. Yes, it was b

Ultimately I thought this was very difficult and had little hope of creating something very satisfactory. However, I thought mine came out fairly good in the face of how difficult it was. The colors h

I thought it interesting that many of the entrants got rid of the texture, however there were many that left in the whole image. I do not care for the texture in people's faces. James Gray

I have been using Giuliana's Channels Power Tool for several years. I have also worked with her on troubleshooting the PPW panel. James Gray

Hi Tom, Using channels for masking is very valuable and in my experience works better than the selection tools most of the time, but not always. I do want to mention that I am recommending ALCE 3.0 an

I am not totally sure how I got the detail into the trees on the left. It is possible that the Lesser hammer might have been a small factor. I am sure that the main way I got detail into the trees is
