Thank you! Super helpful for someone like me that’s never printed anything before

[MarieNuchols]

This really is super helpful. Questions around color spaces give me fits. Small to big, big to small, so many little boxes to check or not.... It's maddening. Thanks for spelling out in such clear detail how you arrive at your award winning results. You rule, Jess. Thank you.

[nickyvannuffel]

Thanks so much! I was going crazy about a photo that changed color when I saved it as jpg but I didn't think about the color profile. You're a lifesaver!

Thank you Jess. Very helpful as always.

[jan_phi_lip]

Glad that I postponed my order of prints so that I can use your tipps later on! Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[lisasleck]

[katdelaet]

Thank you Jess, I have been doing research about this but the workflow here makes alot of sense! Also, that photo of Bryt is just stunning.

[cosmicfoxglove]

Great video! I was just thinking about this the other day haha. The timing couldn't been better. Also love the everyday videos. Much appreciated❤

Yes! Absolutely helpful to see this print ordering workflow.. Thank you. Might have also been helpful to hear how you chose your print service company: someone you admire recommended yours, you asked them to send you a sample, they came up high in a Google search, they are local to you, they had few complaint comments, or, how did you check them out?

Hi Jess, (or Dan) for the fine art float frame, it this omega rag paper with varnish on top?

[janwebb]

Very Helpful, do you self fulfill posting to clients or post straight from Lab?

[gerrywidnell]

Thank you. This the first tutorial I have seen regarding printing. Can I ask if all companies do proof prints or can you tell me how this works? Thanks again.

[nickmaybee]

Hi! :) Do you ever use ICC profiles from your printlab to make sure the colors are matching your edit?

[pollypowell]

Do you ever print from Lightroom? Just curious...still getting comfortable with layers in photoshop.

[pattymattes]

What would be a good image for a test print? An image with a balance of lights and shadows? Not sure if I'm asking the question appropriately. I'm in the process of sending images to labs to check on quality and I know I should send the same image or images to each lab to compare. I just want to know what makes a good image to send for a test print. Thank you!!!!

Do you need a website to open an account for digitalabs, I don't have one and would like to open an account?

[PaulSmith-mhyq]

Hi Jess
What do you use to calibrate your monitor ? ( I run Win 10).

[galva]

Hi, don't you have to use ICC paper profiles with this print firm... I have started look into printing and this video is brilliant... Did you not need to soft proof the image?
