Hi All,
I recently had three photos printed 16X12" from a local independent photo shop. I emailed the photos after giving them a ring. I asked whether I should increase the brightness as I'd heard that is advisable if you've edited them on a computer screen. He said he would do that if necessary. While I was pleased with one, one had lost a lot in the shadows and the other he brightened, which reduced the saturation and the impact of the image (probably because it was a JPEG).
Is there any advice for getting photos printed as they appear on your screen (aside from getting your own printer etc. as I definitely can't afford that!).
Should I have brightened them myself and asked him not to make any changes?
Many thanks,
Tom
