- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
So i have FINALLY been offered to hang some of my work in a gallery, while i am VERY excited i have a problem. To hang in this gallery my work has to be LARGE like 16x20 or so.....print size. The issue is i have NEVER printed anything of this size.
I was told that one issue is converting to 5:4 ration, not a big deal i shoot everything in RAW...but I am confused about where i should go to get things printed of this size and what i need to know...is there certain paper i should use? is there a type of finish that is more common and looks better? what else do i need to know and are there good places to go to get this done.
This is my first show and i dont want to spend a bunch of money getting 16x20 printed only to realize they look like crap. If it is important the photos are color shots of the bay in maryland (long exposure with reflection) i have 2 shots like this, one is a B&W of a historic local theater, and another is a color street scene.
ANY advice anyone can give me to get my prints done so they look professional and would have a chance of selling would be GREATLY appreciated
