Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

The sensor in our DSLRs have a ratio of 2:3 Hi-res means the image can be printed at 300dpi. Size the images to 2400x3600 and they can print any size up to 8"x12". Lo-res images are displayed on a computer screen at 72dpi. I'd go 800x1200 just to make the math simple. On 12/13/2017 18:01,

I would burn the images to a CD/DVD. Provide hi-res JPEG files they can print and lo-res copies in case they want to post them to Facebook or other social media. I would also include a text file on the disk with a copyright release granting them permission to print the images (save them a

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

Ken got it right. High quality hi-res jpegs are fine for making prints. Both low-res and hi-res should be in SRGB color space. Don’t release RAW files, even if someone requests them. The RAWs are your negatives, and public images should reflect your rendering. Paul > On Dec 13, 2017, at 12:39

FWIW, suggest you provide jpegs in two versions - low res for use on phones and computer and high res suitable for printing and not provide the RAW files. -Original Message- >From: Eric Weir >Subject: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client" > > >My

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

Godfrey made several very good points. I had been thinking about some of them myself, but forgot to add to my response. And I would like to highlight a few of them, very nicely formulated by Godfrey with minor comments from myself: Godfrey DiGiorgi Wed, 13 Dec 2017 09:04:52 -0800 wrote:

Eric, 1. I have a policy: I never give RAW files to anybody. (In the film era, I've never given negatives to anybody, with just one exception for a close friend of mine per a special agreement). I would only consider giving RAW files in very special cases. Several photographers that I know

Re: Floundering about how to provide images for a "client"

First: Is this for pay or as a gift? In either case, talk to them, show them the photographs, and ask if they'd like any. Presuming they say yes... - Make a set of JPEGs of the best ones for them. A reasonable size that they can put on their phones, essentially, something like 1600 pixels on
