When you lot do your editing, do you do a save for print version of your images? (Yes I know LR lets you save the metadata and export when you need to). If you do, what size print and resolution do you keep saved?

The good 1's I may want to print are saved as tiff, uncompressed and full size. I think they are all 240 DPI

I save a Tiff file of anything I want to print.

Then, when it comes time to print I just export them as high res JPEG's, or to a batch conversion with photoshop.

It's not the most efficient use of disk space, but I have terrabytes of it.

But do you save it out to a particular size?

I've been keeping 24x16's @ 300dpi of any image I edit up and display anywhere, bigger in the case of triptychs, compilation shots or panoramics. Just wondering if it's a bit stupid...

Welcome back

wow a two word post - and the two words did not involve nice and shot...

I usually save the .PSD of anything i really Like. I think that comes from the whole design background and having to edit images at a later date. I keep all my layers and and adjustments etc so its all editable. I then just flatten an image i may want to send to print. The size depends on the dpi but i keep it as high as I can.

Okay.....I just put a beautiful roast in the oven.

Roast beef sandwiches for everyone. Be here in two hours.

oh damn....I guess I am too late for sandwiches?

Never mind, I have a roast chicken on.

I'd make the temperature here about 30 degrees cooler.

We'll have a few of those degrees please

This is becoming a very famous site for mods to visit.

It's about that point, I'd lean forward and put my head on the chopping block.

I will join you in that

I don't worry about res and dpi, I just save it at its original size.
As I don't print at home, I let the printer worry about the rest, and have never had an issue.

I'd actually not even thought about that, but looking at it, I assume you had a fair view so yeah, I'll go with your definition!

I know I can simply go for a wander in the forest and snap birdies, or go to the beach or whatever, but 1, I don't really have the time to walk around looking for pretty scenes etc and 2, landscapes and all that simply isnt inspiring me. I am wanting to practice either action shots or model shots or lighting really.

There's your 'green' box, now think outside it.

I take that as a compliment. Regarding the 'god' comment,

I think he meant Tommy:p
