Kimaldis, they are Jpeg files. Saved used SaveAs in Photoshop CS5 with full quality. Print profile was sRGB (requested by Loxley). Corbystock, thanks for the screen prints. I did try this and all of my images show as pure white using this method... i'm confused now. I've never had this...

I didnt request any additional editing from Loxley but i did specify that it was my first order in the additional comments box... Thanks for all the pointers folks... i'm playing around with them now. Still learning but you've helped me move in the right direction. Cheers.

kimaldis - thanks for the detailed explanation. I did perform some contrast adjustments. hdseven, good spot. i've adjusted the middle slider and I see plenty of bands throughout the background... i'm guessing thats what they're talking about. It must be showing up on the prints somehow...

Should be ok now guys, i've turned hotlink protection off on the site. thanks.

Yeah sure, i've loaded 2 version (small version for display here) Here is the link to the full version (incase the shrinking has lost quality or whatever) http://maddop.co.uk/examples/img61and122.jpg thanks.

I like it. Technically sound with nice contrast sky vs roof. I would have it as a desktop background but not on my wall. Just my opinion :-)

Interesting thread and quite a difficult one to answer to be honest! (I'll try to stay on topic) So here goes... my long term goal is to go pro! When first starting out the hardest thing I found was, not knowing what I needed to know! I'll answer from the stages I've gone through: Initially I...

Love these, number1 and 4 are my favourites. Lighting is simple yet effective. Her poses are spot on.

I dont like the original composition of the image i'm afraid, and I think it has the fantasy hdr look to it... In my opinion an off roader images give the idea that the vehicle can go off road or has been... good luck with future images.

i have the iphone 3g 2nd gen at £35 600mins + 400texts. Was an 18month contract which expired in Feb... holding out for the iphone 4th gen!

I tried pushing calumet today and they refused to offer to 5d mkii at Focus prices... said their hands are tied! :thinking:

If quality isn't an issue then the cheapest prints I've seen are 5p per print (for the quantity you're talking about). You can also get roughly 40prints free when you first sign up with companies, order from several companies and you'll get a majority of your prints free and be able to determine...
