Print Week: Sending Your Photos to a Lab (or somewhere else)
Hi all. We’re wrapping up our print week today with a video on sending your photos to some one else to print. It could be a photo lab, or just a friend with a printer. Either way, here’s some of the best methods and settings for saving your photos to print, if you’re not printing them yourself.
ON1 Photo RAW — Non-destructive Editing
See the new non-destructive workflow inside of ON1 Photo RAW. One of the cool things about non-destructive editing is that the original photo (any file type Photo RAW can read – raw, jpeg, tiff, psd, etc.) is never modified. All the edits you do are stored as instructions. Again, no matter the file type. This makes opening and saving your photos fast.
Print Week: Day 4 – Making Your Own Print
Now that we’ve finish edited our file, calibrated our monitor and soft-proofed the image, it’s time to make a print. I’ll showcase my workflow for creating a small test print (a hard-proof) before printing this image big. Tomorrow Matt is going to share a video about how to send your images off to have printed at a lab.
Print Week: Day 3 – Monitor Calibration and Softproofing
If you want to get really accurate prints, calibrating your monitor is critical. Without a well calibrated monitor, it’s tough to know if you are viewing accurate tones and colors as you edit and softproof your images. In the video below I’ll show you how I use my i1 Display Pro colorimeter to calibrate my display.
Print Week: Day 2 – Sharpening, Noise, and Soft Proofing
Welcome to Day 2 of print week. A few of the questions we get a lot when it comes to printing is how much do you sharpen your photos? How about Noise Reduction? And finally, how do you soft proof? Well, today we’ve put ’em all in to one topic, and believe it or not, it’s actually much easier than it all sounds. Enjoy!
Print Week: Day 1 – Processing and Finish Editing Your Image
We are so excited to kick off print week! Each day we’ll be covering a variety of topics to help you get your image from the digital darkroom to the wall. Soft-proofing, monitor calibration, printing yourself, sending prints out? We are covering it. Here’s a short print week introduction video that will let you know what to expect in the days ahead.
Nicolesy Tip 4: Creating a Double Exposure
One of my favorite things to do in ON1 is to create double-exposures. This image was created using two main images: the portrait of the model dressed as a geisha, and an iPhone photo of the branches of a tree filled with cherry blossoms. Then, I finished it with a paper texture that you can find inside of your “My Extras” folder in ON1 Layers. Watch how I transform it into a work of art!
Nicolesy Tip 3: Changing an Object to White or Black
Changing the color of an object in ON1 Photo is relatively simple, but what if you want to convert the image to pure white or pure black? This video demonstrates how to do both!
