With the latest inkjet printers capable of providing long-lasting prints more cost-effectively than conventional photo printing technology, there are more reasons for all kinds of photographers to make their own digital prints and enlarge their best pictures for framing and display.
In this third edition of the Printing Digital Photos pocket guide, we focus on the key steps in the captureto-output process. We look at how to take the kinds of photos you will want to print and share and consider selection of the right kind of printer, the types of inks and papers to use, how to set up your computer system to obtain the best output with minimal wastage of inks and paper and how to use the software that comes with the printer to ensure excellent results.
We also explain how to set up a colour managed workflow and show you how to produce monochrome prints and enlargements that rival the quality and visual impact of prints made on traditional media. The cover CD contains an array of useful software covering scanning, organising and file conversion, editing and printing applications.
