Of course there will be Levels work to do in Photoshop afterwards, just like any other photo. But you MUST NOT skip the raw editing part of the workflow. That's madness.

Of course not. Raw editing must be done on raw files. Period.

No, shit no!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST DO YOUR COMPLETE RAW PROCESSING FIRST.

You're supposed to do the raw processing first. Then (I think) save as 16-bit TIFFs to put through Photomatix. And export as another 16-bit TIFF out the other end.

Yeah, no. This isn't right. What other file formats does it accept?

What file format where the files you put IN to the program?

As long as their printing is accurate, this will look beautiful on canvas. But you're right to be cautious - if their print profile is even a little bit wayward at the highlight end, it could quickly lose its impact.

Hi @Tatiana, I hope you don't mind me making a post here. I can't access Facebook at the moment. The reason your colours change so drastically is that you're assigning, not converting, to sRGB. Never assign. However, it might not be as simple as converting either. Follow this troubleshooter.

Do you have reason to distrust your canvas printer? I mean, do you fear that the print won't be accurate to your screen?

Here, as far as I can tell.

I'm so sorry, I don't know. You'll have to ask X-Rite themselves.

So you might need to try the Studio software instead?

That's probably the problem, isn't it? The Macbook's operating system is too new for the Munki?

Previews schmeviews. Can you actually open them?

How did it ever turn out, @Sunshine?

Just emailed you.

I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT DO THIS. Whatever size you scanned it at, that's the best size for it.

Completely wrong, yes. There is absolutely no benefit, only drawbacks, to artificially changing the size of your digital files.

Yes, but that means they're NOT very large. Please read: https://www.damiensymonds.net/file-size-html/ Of course. You'd be crazy not to. It doesn't have to be TIFF, it can be PSD. Either is fine.

Of course it's true. That's why your editing files are PSDs or TIFFs - with their layers. But the files we give to clients, or friends, or send to the lab, are ALWAYS JPEGS. Because the editing is finished. What? How are you judging this?

There is ABSOLUTELY no visible difference between a high quality jpeg and a tiff file. All you're doing is forcing your family to download unnecessarily huge files. They won't thank you for that at all.

It doesn't matter what they "allow". DO NOT UPLOAD TIFF FILES.

Then this whole question is moot. You MUST upload jpeg files. This is utter nonsense.

Hi @Laurie23, I've moved your question into its own separate thread, because there's so much to discuss here. First, can you elaborate on this? What kind of website? I mean, for what purpose are you uploading your photos to it?

Post in the Sharpening Class for that. You'll see where others have done the same.
