Good point Godfrey ;-)
You are absolutely right. But, when talking about getting the
printing right
first, I was thinking about printing out the files I have on
computer now.
I have taken near 4000 exposures with my DS, and none of them is
printed
out. The reason is simple, because the printer I have now stinks.
(No point
in wasting ink and paper on something that’s no good).
When I am satisfied with the results, then I have a baseline for my
scans.
Does that make any sense?
I would think about it this way:
You have a bunch of pictures that you've already scanned or image
processed. Because they're essentially "done", you want to print some
of them (likely not all 4000, right?), and you'll suffer through
whatever pain getting the prints out implies.
Presuming that your finish work with image processing is satisfactory
to you, you'll figure out the correct settings on the printer to put
the work out consistently. But that doesn't really help you learn how
to make the best scans or do the best RAW conversion.
