Serves as my reference guide when I have a question about printing at home as instructions are easy to follow.
As a basic color management book this is not bad. Alas, no such luck.I do believe "Geclee' was mentioned once, in passing but, not elaborated on. IF I had never read any color management books in my life and IF the schools I attended did not address "how things print to paper" then this book would be ideal.For the accomplished printer of anything having to do with "ink on paper" this book held no "extra" secrets. I had expected a guide to the Art Community's use and acceptance of inkjet printing.
So what is the best ways, aproaching printing resolution. In second, you can choose edit in Lightroom and go thru Photoshop in TIFF convertion. And third way is export in DNG thru bridge and still in photoshop. After reading some excellent reviews from "Fine Art Printing" Uwe Steinmueller and Juergen Gulbins, I am truly convinced that this book must be seeing for those who really would like to learn, in low level, the best printing technics. What are the best steps to preserv the best integrity from Raw files and them print. But there were a important missing in this book. If you in Lightroom and could send your Raw file directly to printer is one option.
I wish they would go back at least a generation to help us out. I do so when the need arises--which often will mean I might skip a new model or two. Great book with lots of good information, but I am a little perturbed with the lack of profiles, and information for people with a common printer that is a generation or two older. I DON'T replace my printers EVERY time a new model comes out. I think that most people are the same.Otherwise, I'd recommend this book highly. I have an Epson 4000 printer, and it is still going strong, and was also a very popular printer. The authors have chosen to skip these printers and go straight to the 3800 and 4800 printers instead.
With 'Fine Art Printing for Photographers: Exhibition Quality Prints with Inkjet Printers' this is certainly a niche market, that being inkjet output for photography lovers. CHECKWant to learn the basics of Photoshop.
CHECKWant to focus on black & white photos. CHECKWant to learn how to present photos better.
The thing I love about niche books is that they stand out from all the others in the market. From looking at different kinds of equipment to settings to sample images, this book does every kind of examination that I would want and does it well.Looking to learn how to enhance photos.
CHECKGreat writing, layout, and a great niche market, this is an easy recommendation.***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Nice books can be risky, being independent either the market is new or unknown and its kind of like throwing darts, not knowing whether you'll make a big hit or not when you toss that sharp projectile in the air.
Does the dart find its mark or trail off, careening off the wall.Bullseye.I think that this is a great book for professionals or hobbyist photographers that are looking to get the best quality hard copies of their work from a (much) cheaper alternative way of printing.
