The image can then be dragged to its required size. The sharpening (which is of course size sensitive)manages itself at this stage, once a few trial are done to establish whats needed to suit paper type. The benefit therefore is that you only need to keep a single unsharpened tiff for each image after processing. Qimage also keeps a printing log so you can go back to that image at any time and select the job for a reprint. The profile, size, print settings, paper type etc are kept in memory. I use Photokit sharpener for capture sharpening and any local sharpening, and sometimes for web use the output sharpening. I used to do sharpening by eye but when I read the photokit manual I began to understand that I was unlikely to get it right as the size, dpi and associated maths are too complicated. I try to make every print to an exhibition standard, whatever the size and would like to exhibit one day. In Kings Lynn we have gallery run by a cooperative of artists and photographers and one day I will have a go there.Nigel Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911890366930168606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-34158814052507918022011-10-28T23:06:29.498+02:002011-10-28T23:06:29.498+02:00Interesting.

Still not sure what it adds over PS (I have other resizing options and like to control the sharpness on each print myself) but will research further. Building up to a nice new monitor. I hope to see some of your exhibition prints some day Nigel - I am sure they are very good indeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204385349190602874noreply@blogger.com
