u mean u have the same problem when u send it for print?Originally posted by av98m:Kopi,
when you find out the answer to that question, please let me know T__T
*pulls hair out*
on the screen, the transition from shadow to skin texture is smooth.
yet when i get it back, even on the 4R its like someone used the "cutout" filter in photoshop.
initially i thought it was the lab's problem, so i sent it to other labs and the results are the same, they can't seem to tahan the colours i'm giving to them.
then i thought maybe i over-edited.
if u sent yours in with minimum editing and the results are the same, then i really don't know already.
somemore on the screen my focus points are all sharp, on the photos its... blur.
not blur in a gaussian blur way, but the lines are not clean. -
i pity my sister..
she's gg to go crazy one of these days livin with me...
-
my vendors always have this caveat: colours onscreen may not be the colours printed...
anyway, ask av about this... he rants about this sometimes..
in other news, i got the pic scanned
wanna see?Originally posted by kopiosatu:i don't understand.
how come everything looks clear on my screen
yet when i send it to the lab for print, the colour comes out all blotchy.
have i "over edited"? -
only for some pictures, for no explainable reason. some heavily post-processed pics turn out fine while others with zero post processing, and exposed to protect highlights, turn out bizarre T___TOriginally posted by kopiosatu:u mean u have the same problem when u send it for print?

Sorry to hear that. Hope things are well on the home front though. I've been busy with work as well, and only started to have a break this week. Being a short week, I'm feeling the holiday mood.Originally posted by choco B:Heey Wanda
Yeah been busy at work and other matters. Has not been a good March for me and April looks like a dump too from where I'm standing Between dealing with all that and the accompanying periods of moodiness & angst , not good company at all .. even on the forums
How are you?

Haha, maybe you can make it up to us by doing the robot danceOriginally posted by fudgester:Uhhh.... that wouldn't be possible.
It isn't the fluid that is supersonic, it's the flow of fluid that is supersonic.
Ok... have I turned off you ladies?

no no, its not about the 'wrong' colours. my screen has been calibrated and the colour is alright.Originally posted by the Bear:my vendors always have this caveat: colours onscreen may not be the colours printed...

i'm just wondering what went wrong with the print. rather than have a nice shade/transition, it looks like some crayon colouring. everything doesn't look smooth at all. -

screen is rgb, print is cmyk... so color will definitely won't be exactly as u "see"... plus diff monitor has diff color sync with diff printer... so go figure!
as for sharpness, view it 100% in high res, if it's okie then it should turn out alrite de.... -
mine never has problems and i use those booth things where you stick your media stick in, choose, slot in coins and it prints
maybe because when i print, it's for office use so i don't care -
Can you scan and show us a sample. I'm curious.Originally posted by kopiosatu:no no, its not about the 'wrong' colours. my screen has been calibrated and the colour is alright.

my problem also has nothing with color.
hard to explain unless I show you one of my 'spoilt' prints -
i printed 200+ yesterday. the results were horrible.Originally posted by av98m:only for some pictures, for no explainable reason. some heavily post-processed pics turn out fine while others with zero post processing, and exposed to protect highlights, turn out bizarre T___T

going out to do some test shots.
will be sending a set of untouched and edited photos to analyse.
need to determine if its my post-processing that's taking all the texture out.
its strange that on the screen the texture is visible, when i send for print its the opposite. alot of details that make the picture work are lost.
i did a check and people are saying jpeg basic/normal/fine are almost the same, maybe some notable differences if we're gonna print 8X10. but i'm printing 4R!!!! -
to make it worse,Originally posted by Wanda:Hiya shinta. Ask her to sing "she drives me crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals.

its not the sharpness of the softcopy.
its the print itself.
the lines are not clean.
the output is blotchy / murky -
Thank goodness for the home front... when all else fails you know there is an SO to cry on LOL
I bought an Ariston oven btw and have made 2 plates lasagne to date
I'm taking leave on Thursday to observe Qing Ming
Have too much work to really enjoy the long and short of work-weeks... just hanging on and hoping this will passOriginally posted by Wanda:Sorry to hear that.

That's EXACTLY my problemOriginally posted by kopiosatu:i

!!!
and it doesn't matter if its 4R or S8R, same problem
weird thing is , other pictures taken on the same day at the same place with the same camera will turn out fine. there will just be a few that can never turn out right!!

i want to print on my own in future.Originally posted by av98m:Kopi, this is why I was thinking of getting my own printer to do my own printing.

to avoid printing that much i have to jump away from the 'mass printing' industry like weddings.
