Post Processing & Printing
I have just finished Post processing a large batch of digital photos
taken by my during her recent holiday. Almost all were in need of attention - some needed 'rescuing'as they looked unprintable straight from the camera. To my relief - and satisfaction - it was possible to make more than 90% of the photos very printable. I uploaded these to Ofoto(Kodak) and the 7"x5"prints were back in 3 days and of excellent quality - printed on Kodak DuraLife paper which is nice and contrasty. Presumably, if non post- processed digital photos are sent to a digital printing lab the prints would look just as indifferent/awful as the unedited images, with no improvement of any sort being applied. This makes me wonder what the large numbers of 'happy snappers') (of which my daughter is one) who have no idea of the need or benefits of post processing- or of how to achieve them - think of digital photography when they have their prints back from the lab. With film processing, it seems that although the printing may be by machine,some 'improvement process'takes place, so that even poor negatives can produce reasonable prints. Isn't there a huge problem here, with the marketing of digital cameras across the whole spectrum of photgraphers - from holiday 'snappers'/keen amateurs/ to professionals?
