Re: Printing

[lrc]

Check prices, there may not be any reason other than convenience to use Flickr 
rather than Bay directly.  Download the bay roes software and process your 
photos specifically for printing.

Ann, where on the Panhandle was your seascape taken?  I visited most of the

Re: September PUG is up

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I agree with Ken.  We are all indebted to Brian for all his hard work and
skill on our behalf!

I also agree that this large gallery is also one of the best ever.  There
are many strong images, and a lot of artistic compositions.  What also
impresses me is the geographic distribution included in this PUG:
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Alaska, Florida, California,
Maine, Connecticut, Michigan, North Carolina, two Hawaiian Islands, Norway,
England, France, Netherlands, Germany, Greece, and Crete.  Wow!

My personal favorites are Henk's "Lonely Rider" and Ralf's "Kitsch."

Re: Printing

[Doug Franklin]

I haven't posted to the group in several years, but I've been following. 
 On this topic, maybe I have some information to offer.  I recently had 
reason to try the "Fracture" service that most of you (in North America, 
at least) have probably already seen advertised 
(https://fractureme.com).  I had reason recently to try them out. 
Unfortunately, the original I had to work with was less than optimal. 
The best I could do after cropping was about 6" x 8" at 100 dpi.  I must 
say that I was impressed with what they were able to do with that.  I'm 
not sure I could've done better with a local high quality photo printer 
on paper.  I'm looking forward to trying them again with a better 
(higher resolution) original.  I will admit that ICC profiles weren't an 
issue for that print (I didn't have them), but (a) the result was as 
color correct as I could've asked, lacking the profile and (b) it will 
be something I'm looking hard at on the next one.  But there will 
definitely be more.  From my limited test, 9/10, would buy again.

Subject: Printing


I have never printed a single photo. I'd like to give it a try. With this image, just 
as a test: 

 It’s 2.5 MB, 4032 x 2268 pixels

I’ve checked out printing services via this review: 
 
AdoramaPix and Nations Photo Lab appealed. But I see printing is now available via 
Flickr. Thought I’d give it a try.

Wondering about a 10 x 20 or 12 x 24 paper print, lustre finish. With an image 
this size, what do you think?

Also interested in comparison of Flickr to other printing services, e.g., 
AdoramaPix, Nations Photo Lab, or other.

Re: Printing

[John]

Generally, "72 dpi" is screen resolution. You don't want to print at "72 dpi" 
because it will look like crap.


At the 240ppi Godfrey mentioned 4032 x 2268 pixels gives you 16.8 x 9.45 inches.

To get a 20" wide print, 4032 pixels is going to give you around "201 ppi", 
suggesting a crop to 2016 pixels high (for a 10 x 20 print).


A good "printer" should be able to give you an adequate 10x20 C-Type print if 
the JPEG quality is high enough (2.5MB file size suggests it might be just 
barely), although you're going to have to crop it to get that aspect ratio.

Yes.. in this context, ppi and dpi mean the same thing.  It’s a long running
confusion.

Raw files would net more editability but no more pixels, so no.

Can’t give you much advice on print services since I always do my own prints. 
But be aware that that pixel count on the long edge nets a max print area 
length of about 17” @ 240ppi which is as low as I’d want to go for best detail
