One large print (11x14 or bigger) from the Projection Shoot is due April 5th.
*** PLEASE also turn in your files digitally (as RAW, TIFF or JPG)
Lab Suggestions: **I strongly suggest that you take your images to the lab and view the photo on their calibrated monitor before sending it off to print. This will assure that the colors look how you want them to!***
The Print FX Graphics Lab at FIT, D 5th Floor
Printspace
Costs a little more, but more professional and will work with you personally if color is off. You email them an image and pick it up within 24 hours. They do inkjet and digital c-prints.
Adorama
Cheaper, but not as professional. Slightly lower quality prints, but still reasonalbly good. Only digital c-prints. More paper choices than Adorama. Pay rush fee for 24 hour service, otherwise takes a few days.
Checklist for before you take your images to the print lab:
-shot in RAW, saved as a tiff (Give the lab a TIFF or hi-res JPG)
-make a duplicate image, flatten, sharpen
-Process in the RAW window at 300ppi
-Make sure your document size matches the output (paper) size. i.e....if you're making an 8x10 print, size your document to 8x10.
-Make sure your image is in the right color space. Color space should be Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB (depending on what your lab requires- call to ask. Adorama needs sRGB, Printspace needs Adobe RGB 1998) In the camera RAW window, choose the correct color space. Or later, once you've opened the document in Photoshop, see what mode you're editing in on your monitor. Go to VIEW > PROOF SETUP > CUSTOM and choose Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB, whichever your lab requires. To see what color space your document is, in Photoshop go to EDIT > Color Settings. Again, choose Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB. Then go to EDIT > Convert to Profile and see if what setting your document is (Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB). Change it if need be.
Adorama makes digital C-Prints and has reasonable prices. They have a wide selection of papers and you can upload your images online.
