Or at least would understand what I'd be talking about if I got intouch. I need to get large quantities of prints from 1Ds files printed on a regular basis. For my social photography (ie: printing large quantities of images) I have tried the IGI system of emailing images off to labs around the country, to Loxley Colour in Glasgow, to BCI in Banbury, to HCCI in the counties, Metro in London, to my local lab in West London and with the exactly the same file they have all come up with completely different (and unacceptable images). Andy at Loxley seems to be the only person who is willing to help me battle my way through it all but with limited success. I am happy to spend as much time and effort as it requires getting this right (at least as good as it was when I shot all this on film) I'm not sure if this is just an issue with the 1ds as I am having problems with files shot on a D60 as well. I understand that I have as much to learn about all this as well so am not trying to pass the buck ... but for the sake of my fading coiffured locks I would greatly appreciate any help/advice on or off list Many thanks Jim --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
