When you take the time to see your work through by taking it to a print lab that you trust, you control the final product and deliver your true vision, not some compromised facsimile of it. Then they’ll judge your work by the horrible print they got there. If you give your image file to a friend or, even worse, a client to print on their own, they might take it to a pharmacy, warehouse or some other subpar place to get it printed. Your image can look very different on someone else’s screen.
Some are very inaccurate and some are just terrible. What if someone tweaked the colors, blew out the highlights and cropped off part of your masterpiece? That’s what happens when it gets shared online or printed by someone else without your supervision. The color is sublime, the exposure is perfect and the composition is impeccable. You spent a tremendous amount of effort and patience to get that amazing shot.
PRINT MY PHOTOS FULL
When we look at our family’s old albums and shoeboxes full of prints we know prints are proven to last. But even that’s not guaranteed in the coming decades. They might remain there as long as companies like Google, Apple and Amazon are still around. Yeah, remember that film format? Your images on the cloud are no safer. It would be like having your treasured memories only available on Advantix film. Some day a jpg might not be accessible because the format becomes obsolete and we don’t have devices that recognize it. Guaranteed longevityĪccording to internet pioneer, Vint Cerf, the ever changing landscape of computing can render file formats to become unreadable in the future.
And, that may be the best way to keep those memories around as stated in reason number 2. That moment in time that existed only in the digital mind of your device can now be touched and held in your hands. Once you get a digital image printed, you just created something tangible out of thin air. How many times do you just collect photos on your device without ever looking at them again? They exist there in the form of bytes and bits, only a hard drive failure or accidental delete key away from oblivion.
When your photos sit in your phone or computer they might as well rot there. Get something real out of a virtual world When our photos are so easily accessible it’s hard to find a good reason to print them. Viewing or sharing an image is always only an arms’ length away. In today’s internet driven world, we see photos shared everywhere on our ubiquitous digital devices.
