When I look at an image on my computer, it looks great! When I print; good, but not great. I'm not getting what I'm seeing on my computer screen. Color-wise, I have figured out that I need my images a certain brightness/color tint ect to get the coloring right in print, but the sharpness of my pictures is still suffering! My question is:
How do you prepare your images for print?
I print out in a matte/luster finish. Should I be sharpening my images more if I am going to be printing them out? Like I said, everything looks fine on my computer, but its not translating well to print.
Here is my current work flow, in case its needed to help fix my issue: I shoot in RAW, fix any exposure issues, and sharpen if needed. I then convert to JPEG 8-bit and do finishing edits (usually just contrast and color level tweaks) in PSE9.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
