Printing digital photos has become much easier lately, thanks to a swag of new technologies, including improved ink sets and papers and ever-better software. With more and more people wanting to make inkjet prints - all the way from snapshot-sized to large posters - we decided it was time to re-write our popular Printing Digital Photos Pocket Guide to incorporate information on the latest developments and make it even easier for users of inkjet printers to produce attractive-looking prints.
Our focus in this pocket guide is on the printing process itself: the different types of printers, their strengths and limitations; how to use the printer driver and bundled software effectively; and how to control colour reproduction from image capture to output as a print. We look at some popular image editing applications and classify them according to users' experience levels. Printing Digital Photos also contains information on print longevity - an issue that is becoming increasingly important for digital image preservation. We also explain how to prepare colour and monochrome prints for display and how to produce prints from raw image files: everything you need to create superb, long-lasting prints from your digital photos.
