    Thanks for watching! Like I mentioned in the video this tutorial was inspired by a conversation I had with my camera man Alec while working on a project in Denver. Checkout the darkroom page he made here- aleccoutinho.darkroom.tech

    I uploaded some photos to Darkroom and they looked HORRIBLE. I got in touch with them and Kristopher said they had their engineers working on it. He also said the problem wouldn’t effect the finished product. I don’t think I’ll be selling many prints the way they look online. Have you heard anything about this from anyone else?? I though this site would be exactly what I wanted.

    Awesome Video.... Is there a way I can determine how Large I can print a photo? Is it the size of the file or the MP of the file or is even a website I can test out a file to be enlarge to?

    • @AndrewWilliams-vg5lg
      @AndrewWilliams-vg5lg 5 месяцев назад

      It's extremely easy to see the physical size of a digital image in Photoshop. Open up your file, click image, click image size, and change the dimensions to your preference. Resolution plays a BIG part in physical size (good and bad) so make sure you know what you're doing before you start changing things. There's formulas out there that take what the human eye is capable of perceiving into account, but everyones opinion on what looks good or bad is different. Start printing your photos and start gathering hands on experience!

    Is this only effective for people inside the states? I live in Ireland and have started selling prints on my Squarespace website but I’m doing everything made to order atm so it’s expensive I think a system like this might be better. Any recommendations? Thanks for the video. Absolutely love your stuff 🙏

      I use simply color lab, as I outlined in the video I prefer to sign the prints. But this is a hood option for people who want to implement a passive income print strategy into their business or can’t handle the process of inventory and shipping
