Hi,
I’ve recently gone back to PE2 after a very long time away and I realised with horror that I can’t remember how I used to print good photos before.
I’m simply trying to print 6×4 digital photos but they come too small, to large, wrongly orientated, … Looks like I should have written down what I was doing before. 🙁
Anyway, I was wondering could help me get back on the right track by telling me how you print your pictures. For instance, would it be a kind of sequence that you always follow like:
– Fix Lighting (CTRL+SHIFT+L ?)
– Fix red eyes
– Set DPI to xxx (I’d say 300 but I’m aware that everyone needs to find his/her printing sweet spot).
– Crop picture if needed (force 6×4 scale here if not cropping much or does that produce worse results?)
– Additional resizing? Based on resolution, size? With resampling on/off? – Set printing options (anything special here?)
– Print and get a beautiful picture
I’m looking for examples of what works for you because I’m wasting paper and ink here and can’t produce a perfectly sized picture. I must be having one of those moments where the brain simply won’t engage. 🙂
Many thanks,
Wendy
