Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Eiger, looks like we in the same boat ! Trying to figure out RAW or jpg. My biggest problem right now is getting screen calibration correct so what I see on the screen comes out on the print ! They never look the same Who are you using to print, and what are you using to edit (machine wise - mac or other) Slowbee? If you want the pics to match what's on the screen, you need to use a good printer, and have a v good screen. Studio 22 & ORMS are the best for prints, and I must be honest - Macs have the most neutral screen characteristics, which are only really matched by high end monitors on other machines... It also varies hugely if you play with the screen's vibrance, sharpness, gamma setting etc etc. Mac is great out of the box. Others, you have to tinker a bit... BUT - some printers still change settings before printing, and use sub-standard paper / inks. Which is why I say it's best to go for Studio 22 / ORMS. Plus, they are very well priced.

Yesterday I spent ages at the shop trying to get the prints right.. You need someone who knows what they're doing.. I had these pics for a presentation to a client so i wasnt going to settle for anything less then the best.. Took about 30 tries to get it right.. Didnt pay for the wrong ones.. Just saying that not every shop knows what they're doing when it comes to high quality prints... Made the presentations on my mac and the quality could not be matched on print..

Wyatt Earp Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Dangle - what building is this??? I could be wrong, but I think it's a theatre at the back of Unisa. Another one for you. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7202/6973509419_1bac925ddd_b.jpgIMG_0102 by OddPix1, on Flickr
