Did you get an interview too then? If so when is it?If you don't mind the trip, you could pick them up from DSCL in manchester. I put mine through this morning with next day so hopefully they'll be here by friday. if not I'll have to make do with 15x10s from jessops .
More worrying for me is the fact that my portfolio hasn't even turned up yet

have you actually seen their large prints, theyre actually pretty good.
fuji archive crystal supreme (or whatever its called) paper and spot on colour representation to what i have on my calibrated screen..
Yeah I know they're pretty decent (I used to work there), the was mainly at the price and the size (15x10 is the largest they'll do in store and ideally I need 18x12).
18x12 is big. I was going to do mine at A4 and there abouts. Is that too small do you think? :shrug:Yeah I know they're pretty decent (I used to work there), the was mainly at the price and the size (15x10 is the largest they'll do in store and ideally I need 18x12).

That makes sense. When I did A-level photography we only did 35mm and all we could afford was A4 paper,lol.
I think my only real hope is to print them at home. I have to work tomorrow so I can't get all the images ready in time.
Do you have any idea how competitive the interview is, ie how many places are on offer? Or is it more a case of just checking we are up to standard?
In that case I'll try and get them uploaded by this evening. If that fails it will have to be home printing.pretty sure dscl will offer a courier or royal mail saturday delivery for not *too much* money. Submit them tomorrow night, they'll get printed friday morning and you'll get them saturday, just make sure you're in will blow the pants off any variety of home printing.
My printed porfolio is 12x8, does the job. The lecturers are savvy enough to see past the size. One of my friend's photo order didn't come through in time for a uni interview, so I printed his portfolio on my dye sub, 8x6" prints, he got the place.... 18x12 seems a waste of money to me tbh.
Good luck both of you, it's a good course - and again, if you get onto it, get Lucy to model for you, she's damn good
I am trying to upload using the DSCL uploader tool but the images I have uploaded look quite a bit lower in contrast to the ones in CS5. I have converted them to their colour profile as well.
