Quality of prince question

[Tgoodwater2002]

When printing pictures does the quality change when you drop the photos from your camera to your phone and then print from your phone or is it better to print directly from the camera?

"Purple Rain" was excellent. Sorry, I couldn't resist your typo.

I was thinking the same thing!

As to your question, smaller prints are pretty cheap so do both and see for yourself. As a semi-scentific experiment, I copied the following photo from my laptop (the original) to my phone, then uploaded both to Flickr. The quality looks the same to me, though the phone version seems slightly lighter. That may be the phone's share app.

Note, the only editing (rotate and set white balance) was done on the laptop, and no additional saving or editing was done on the phone.

Edit: The second looks a little lighter here, but they look the same in Flickr.
