Barry, My level of proficiency in digital is probably similar to yours, and I couldn't tell a Piezo print from a pizza print. However, I'd imagine, just like any other photos, you can tell if there are defects in an image; stuff like contrast control, brightness, intensity of color (blacks), and more mechanical problems, like banding or off-colors. There is also the matter of aesthetics to consider. Does an image do anything for you. Try to look at images that you like or do not like and figure out what affects you.

It was difficult for me to evaluate and critique the prints as I am not an expert on technical skills, I just know what I like. Most of my posts are questions, as this is, because the skill set on this list for those who post often is far more technically advanced than mine. I wonder, how do you judge a print? What is a perfect print to you? What criteria do you use? Do you have a certain method? For those that don't post and just listen, you have a voice too. What is a perfect print to you? I think technical merit is important, but I think it goes beyond that. Thanks for sharing. Barry Gilliand Yahoo!
