Mine is set to zero. I don't adjust it for customers files. > > Is color balance an issue for you or is it easily corrected/adjusted ? Colour balance is either very easy, or else impossible. Nothing in between. Most of the time, printing digital is done by pushing "start'. I have my machine well in line, what I see, really is what I get, so I do my quality control at the monitor, and rarely inspect the prints that closely. I look at prints from film much more closely. > > Except the over sharpening issue you noticed with canons, is there any > other issue related to these digicams that you noticed ? Canon 3.2 megapixel cameras as a family seemed at one time to be prone to aliasing. Honestly, I don't know if that is fixed now or not. You have one, you tell me. > > And since I can't refrain from asking it: are there any brands that > consistently give the best / worst prints ? For that, I would have to be checking EXIF data, which I don't do. William Robb
