Re: A question about pdf

I believe in both Europe and the U.S. there are small shops that have a wide-format inkjet printer at the heart of their operation. Look for print shops that advertise "giclee"or "fine art prints" -- in various languages, of course. Some of the shops may state on their website th...

Re: A question about pdf

Bayphoto.com and Americanframe.com among other firms will print large photos on inkjet printers. You submit a .jpg or .tif in Adobe RGB or sRGB.

You are right. My blunder.

Re: a question about HW

Wow, A0 is 210 by 297 inches. I guess Jonathan mentioned stitching because inkjet printers like 300 or 360 pixels per inch input. You can upsize an image from perhaps 180 ppi if expected viewers will not get close to the prints. Taking shots with good technique for the stitch, and testing the severa...

Re: Open Canon CR2 files?

The Canon program would be the first one to try. To extract maximum resolution, and do other things with high precision, Raw Therapee. And perhaps try DxO Photo Lab and decide whether it is worth the money.

Re: A question about pdf

Is the destination an offset printer? The studio should tell you exactly what it wants (that is, what portion of their work that they insist you do). For example, they might demand CMYK, and there are many ways to convert any RGB color space to CMYK.

.msi install problem and an apparent fix

The last several updates gave me an install problems, after Microsoft pushed my Windows 10 from 1903 to 2004. The screenshot shows the report of failure. At first I could just start the .msi file again, and it would work. I might need two tries. Then it would not work after half a dozen tries. I stu...

Re: Off-Topic -- Images -- just a Gallery subforum

Many forums devoted to a specific camera or piece of software have a Gallery subforum. You could have one and just write a pinned post with guidelines: please list all software used to develop the image, one of the programs must be PWP, etc.

Luma or luminance curve?

Several dropdown menus offer a choice of HSL, HSL, and All (RGB). Is All calculated as luminance? The documentation for Color Curves might mention that. Assuming it is luminance, another choice of curve could be Luma, for greater separation of contrast and saturation changes. Or is HSL-L essentially...

Re: Black point, colour management and Full Screen riddle

If I understand what Maciej does, I duplicated the situation and had no problem. By Fullscreen whether you mean Windows | Maximize or PWP | Image screen only, I had no problem, PWP Color Management on or off.
