Digital BW, The Print

I'd HIGHLY recommend that you reconsider your work flow to include RAW
shooting. JPEG is just trimming too much good stuff. If your print size is
limited to maybe 8x10 and smaller, you may not see much change. And if you
really can not afford a bit more space for files, at least get yourself
Qimage to resize for printing and web use from your one original file. I
think you'll be much happier with your work.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Am I destroying image quality

 

Thanks, Paul. I haven't tried RAW because of computing power and storage
space, and the 
extra hassle of converting them to TIFFs or the PSD files that I usually
use. Perhaps the 
better question then is to ask if converting to 16-bit for editing actually
does me any 
good?

On image size, do you mean setting the finished print size and letting
resolution fall where 
it may? That's what I have been doing, and have had fairly good results up
to 12 x 18 on a 
2400.

Cheers,
George
