Has anyone printed photos processed by Totally RAD actions? How does it print?

I havent used the TRA but was thinking about getting it.. The only thing is I am always very careful with the color and wondering if after printing all the toning etc applied by TRA still going to look as good as on digital files?

Your prints will only look as good as your edits if you have the correct color profiling. If your using the correct color profile, edit in the correct color profile, and send the print shop whatever profile they ask for then the image that you edit will be the same as the one you print. Actions do not effect printing, however if your monitor is out of calibration or your editing in the wrong profile then your prints will look different then your edits.

@BigAlz1: Thanks forthe fast reply. Yes ,I always have the images to sRGB when I sent it to a lab and yes to the calibration. Just wanted to make sure the TRA doesnt affect anything in a wrong way. :)

No: it doesn't, it only effects your PS image. When you send your finished product to print the printer has no way of knowing how you edited the photo.

Now if your asking can an action change things like bit depth, image mode, and DPI, YES: some actions can even change the over all resolution of the canvas size and image size. Just make sure you go back and correct anything that any action might have change in those areas. The action should never change any of those setting unless it indicates that it should do so.

But what you see is what will print.

Have fun with TRA, I like the ones I have seen and used.
