Herein lies one of my biggest peeves about digital photography. The photographer does not have any control over how the print looks when it is displayed.
I put some of my best shots on the web a couple years back. On my fully-calibrated screen they looked wonderful. I went to my sister-in-law's house and she wanted to see them so we pulled them up on her screen and they looked like crap. You do have quite a bit of choice in the material of the printed form. But when you send the finished product off, at least you can be assured that the person you send it to will see it in the manner that you intended. ~Nick David Wright http://pedalingprose.wordpress.com/ ----- Original Message ---- > From: Doug Franklin <[email protected]> > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 11:38:47 PM > Subject: Re: on paper > And what monitor, for that matter?
