BettinaJay Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi Damien, photo shoot of bushland complete. Edited images using the deal which was five dollar in the same lighting conditions, as the iMac monitor. The Dell looked a bit muddy where is the iMac is sharp and more exposed. My question I’ve printed at Fitzgerald colour Lab They are top-notch however there is a camera shop down the road to specialise in Nikon, Olympus, Fuji Canon etc and they print, probably cheaply. Is it worthwhile Taking my test prints from a small specialised camera shop as opposed to a high-end colour lab? regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Gosh yes. Definitely get some test prints at the local place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettinaJay Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Work out whether I should go to the lab which is specialised some distance away or just do the local camera shop. I take it you mean the locals I’ll do that hopefully today if not Monday morning early cheers thanks for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettinaJay Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Yes. I had read this information provided by yourself before posting. Good to read it again and thanks for sending. It states my 'usual lab' and whilst I've printed family party photos at this local lab, it would not be a place where I sent portraits for print. I will do both. Take usb to camera local and send online to the Professional Colour Lab and collect Monday/Tues. Thanks for your level of detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettinaJay Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 Update. Local camera shop’s printer is cactus. An integral part has failed. Near worthless trip. We did look at my images on his monitor and looked very similar to the Monitor I edited on. luckily I also sent to Fitzgerald’s Colour Lab, on-line, they are ready for collection. I’ll get there.

BettinaJay Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi Damien, I have received my test prints back from the colour lab and found them to be dark. Despite calibrating my Dell 2616D Monitor with the Syder5. How should I now proceed? I also now wish to pay the $10 and do your Bridge Tutorial right now. Despite spending 4 hours on the phone this morning with my Superannuation company with bureaucratic mishandling of my super account whereby the company would not give me access to information, despite successful verification of all security. Four hours later, some stern words and a call from Sydney they made it happen over the phone. I am exhausted and disenfranchised but now would like to get cracking on your courses. Can you point me (link) to the Bridge course so I can begin. Many thanks. Bettina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
