Serious photographers also use social networking to promote their work
since there are more people online that can see a low quality jpg than
offline to see a high quality print.
I sold my massive photo printer long ago and now outsource that task to
snappish, who do same day printing at low cost in most sizes. Linux has so
many print drivers. And gimp has a turboprint plugin. Why reinvent this?
