There are several reasons for printing your photos at home. One is that, after I've eliminated the obvious poor shots, I like to look at a physical reproduction to pick the small number that deserve a high price print. The test print you make at home will cost more than the "high-priced print." Additionally, it provides no indication at all of how the high-priced print will look, since the printing processes are completely different. You're better off picking what you want to print by viewing photos on the screen. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

I've had a look at the results on different printers in shops, especially ones that gear themselves specifically towards printing direct from camera, and the quality doesn't seem much better. Many of the shops just have inkjet printers like you might have at home. For really good results you have to use the online places that send you the prints by post - the stuff they do is indistinguishable from film prints if your image resolution is sufficient. There are a few large shops that have this equipment, but it's expensive so not every little corner pharmacy will bother. miguel -- Hit The Road!

That's definitely what I've seen. It's just that the marketing often makes it seem as though it's 'the same' as having professional prints. Waste of money for many people, probably. -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

I'm VERY satisfied with the service I get from Kodak via Mac's iPhoto (the most elegant digital library I've seen). I always get it via the mail in 2 days... cost about $3 on most shipments. I wonder what the results will be with my new Sony that I will be getting shortly, it that has: RAW (no compression), whatever that turns out to be... I kinda think I'm still going to need to convert it to a jpeg for processing... jay Sat Nov 20, 2004 There are a few large shops that have this equipment, but it's expensive so not every little corner pharmacy will bother. miguel |

If the format has a market, iPhoto could incorporate the format. My new camera will have 7.1 (replacing a 5.0, but w/ a fried LCD) which seems very good for the size prints I need. jay Sat Nov 20, 2004 J; |

Hi- I just went through your photographs on your website. Your photography is beautiful, the locales even more beautiful. Once I figured out how your site was layed out, it was easy to use. I especially appreciated that you showed all sorts of general views and lots of the details of any locale you photographed. I've been in much of France, but not the specific areas you highlighted. It was absolutely breathtaking! Whether I go to that specific area- or somewhere like it- I'm now deeply longing to return. I live in San Francisco, an area many people, including myself, find exquisite. Aren't we lucky to have so much breathtaking beauty- of very different sorts- to steep ourselves in! Thank you so much!!! Susan |

If the format has a market, iPhoto could incorporate the format. Maybe, but it's quite complicated. Consider that the JPGs that you get out of a digital camera are the result of a bunch of processes including physical and digital filters. The RAW files are just what is recorded by the sensor, before any subsequent processing takes place, so what state it is in depends on the camera, and the format will be dependent on the whims of the manufacturer. Since iPhoto is a sort of mass-market product, the value of trying to keep track of individual camera formats may not be worth it, and the results obtained by the casual photographer using such formats may be disappointing.
