Anyone know of future plans for the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry Aviation Hall?

Why do you ask?

Or like this..

It just depends on the end result you want..

Can I just say that I use a Canon i9950 A3 printer. I use Canon Photo Pro Paper up to A3+.

But most of the ink I use comes from Cartridge World.

Cartridge World uses ‘Original Ink’.. Did you know that Epson use 7 different blacks inks in their cartridges?!

I have not yet come across a refilled cartridge that does not match an original.

I will occassionally use Canon cartridges just to check, but cannot tell the difference.

This is my experience. Some people may have had negative experience.
But when I am saving almost 70% off the price of a Canon cartridge, I would recomend you try them…

Darren, I would be interested in your results from this company?

Not at all… But this is a tutorial forum where it is reasonable to assume that some people will not be as overly knowledgable as you may be. To make sweeping generalisations more aligned with film photography than digital, as you did, does not help those who are wrestling with bringing digital imaging into their hobby (or career).

So telling everyone that you have to do 101 things to EVERY PICTURE you take to make them exceptable is ‘helping those who are wrestling with bringing digital imaging into their hobby (or career)?’

Surley you should be telling them that ‘any of these, or a combination of these can help you improve you digital image’..

If you read what SPT writes he uses phrases like ‘If required’ and ‘If nesassary’. Thats what you/we should be telling people….

If you read my threads I picked up on someone who said they did them to all his images regardless…..

This is what I do:

1) level the horizon
2) crop the photo
3) resize the photo to 1035×780. When sharpening a photo you get a white line around the photo. This can be cut out later by leaving some margin at this early stage.
4) change colours/saturation. Just a very little bit to make the colours more lively.
5) change brightness and contrast to make the bits in the shadow more visible, and to make the overexposed bits somewhat darker (overexposed bits can never be saved completely though)
6) remove dust spots
7) unsharp-mark
8) selective sharpening if required
9) resize it down to 1024×768 (standard monitor size) or 1024×683 (standard print size). Both these sizes are regularly accepted at JP.net and airliners.net so cutting the heigth down makes no difference. Often it helps the image by removing background. Also, my camera shoots at 1024×683 size so using that size is just more convenient.
10) save the file using a compression of no less than 10 on a 1-12 scale (12 highest)

SORRY GUYS…

Please don’t take offence.. But

If you have to do all this to every photo you take.. Then, You either need to change your camera, or learn how to take photographs properly….

How did you manage before Digital???

Apart from re-sizing, the only thing I check is the levels, if you use the right settings, you will not have to adjust them.

Cropping should be down to Composure..
Brightness should controlled by your TTL or light meter…
And Sharpness is done by either your eyesight or through your Lens…
And as far as removing objects.. I think we have had this discussion before…

But now we are talking about a different subject to what was originally posted here.

I have been interested in the way some of you re-size your images… Thanks for that.
