Last week I delivered to a client 6 inkjets mounted onto foamboard. nothing new here than BUT they were made up to 20 x24 inches and from files they provided. All shot with cheapo digicams, the biggest file was 1 MB. All were jpegs, all had serious artefacts showing. They were "good enough" for a one off exhibition they were doing. Ive produced work for them shot on scan back in the studio so they really do know what the quality from a digital file can be like. Bottom line for them though is that all the shots were taken on locations around the UK showing what their product was capable of doing, so for them quality was not the prime issue,getting the shot was. I have not suggested getting a better camera and shooting raw files because they would no doubt never use a professional again for outside work if they went that route. I know a Pro would have used fill in flash etc but the reality is that the shots they supplied did indeed capture the moment regardless of quality. Those of you supplying images to newspapers know only too well that its better to supply a crap image than none at all.
