Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,
I think you are very correct. Lots of differences between young and old.. Largely I think and I'll say this politely ok...We old codgers have a pretty high standard.. and also a high expectation.. The younger group are far more flexible in their standards and expectations.. About a month ago I watched an out of town artist do a presentation to a couple of gallery owners.. He did the whole thing on an Ipad with them standing around him.. He was flipping images with his finger and sharing info about each.. They could easily go back and forth... I happen to do the reproductions on a few of these and they didn't look quite right on the screen.. It didn't matter.. Don't laugh it was sort of like watching 5x7 trannies fly around on a baby light table.. well if you squinted a little maybe... This is the first time I have been in a space quiet like that and I'll say I was surprised how well it went.. I think I was looking at tomorrow.. So stepping back an Ipad might be a great place to carry your portfolio around.....as long as it was acceptable.....and I think it will be.. Everytime I see someone using an Iphone  in think..."Beam me up Scotty"..  Anyway I think we need to try to stay with it as in some ways we can help shape it..

  In contrast with the MP camera thread, with improving tablet display 
  resolutions, where is the line crossed that my old eyes do not see the 
  image improve and I want to have a (pocketable) 30" display with old 
  eyes resolution? More and more there will be a division between the 
  young and old, between mobile and stationary. The last group is growing 
  in percentage up to 2035 over here, it is not different in the US and 
  Japan.

  I do not expect that image editing improves when less experienced users 
  work on 10" displays in all kinds of environments. Not to mention the 
  lack of color management. Sure there is a 40 MP Nokia phone to feed that 
  image stream and I will not object to make a 3x4' print at the end of 
  that stream but to consider it as a real alternative for what we have 
  already? Anyway more likely that 99% of the images never will be 
  printed. Which makes it off topic here.

  met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst
