Its so important to find a quality lab rather than just the most affordable one. I can't tell you how much money I spent on prints that just did not come back even close to what they should have been.
Even for home printing a (preferably hardware) calibrated monitor and soft proofing is such a godsend. Having a print right in one go saves a ton of money and (arguably more important) frustration.
What timing! I've just got a few A3 frames to hang images from my project from around the hills of the Welsh valleys, to live with them on the walls for a while and help with the selection process for hopefully a book at the end. I'll try your method for the first prints. Thanks Kyle.
Always refreshing to see your videos videos progressing us as artistic photographers and not reviewing lenses taking taking portraits of ladies saying how sharp the gear is
I’m now rescanning my current project on a flextight x5 and will be using it moving forward. I’m definitely gonna come back to this video when it comes time to print.
Don't know what to write other than the 2D photography in a 3D world always amazes me,. same goes with Wes Andersson's movies it's such a theatrical feeling to it instantly that make you observe everything like a painting looking for details. It gives the idea that I should try to find some minor detail that you've hidden in this photograph almost.
Finally! Can you also make a video on how you prepare files to print a book? Is DSLR scanning good enough for that? Do you get darkroom prints and then scan those? I don’t know, so many questions…
Hi Kyle. Been using whitewall for around 8years. Nice to see some print examples on paper I haven’t used yet. One tip I saw recently about the high pass sharpening is to desaturate the layer before applying the high pass. This avoids any colour shifts. I found that some reds and oranges can shift a bit with high pass if you don’t desaturate first.
Appreciate the walkthrough of the workflow. I try to resize as little as possible and have the printer vary it's DPI setting to match. I believe most professional printers are capable of much higher than 300 DPI, so for smaller prints, I deliver full resolution for printing at really high (480+) DPI.
I did print my pictures without any adjustments and i wondered why there are color shifts in the print and i thought for some time that my printer was broken but i guess i have to do some corrections. Anyways, great video as always and i learned something useful today, so thank you for that. Keep on doing the videos, they are really something special
Fantastic Video, I lived in LA for 5 years and bought a printer, Canon from Eric Joseph at Freestyle, he set me up with profiled paper, it was Canson, I just loved it....
This came at just the right time for me, I've been putting off printing my photos for a while due to a lack knowledge about how to get the print to look the way I like it. Thanks Kyle
Man Id love that print. I swear every video I learn something new from you. I had Shiyun loan and ship me that 65 Mitakon because of your video. Excited to make a video about it too!
Thanks so much for sharing your process! Especially the photoshop workflow and sort proofing with ICC profiles! I just ordered some prints after prepping them using this process. Once I see the results, I will order at least one on some fine art paper!
Great resource for learning how to make better prints. I'll be rewatching this one every few months when I go to print more work. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Brilliant video, I have been worried sick about getting some of my first medium format scanned film prints done but this is going to help massively so thank you very much :) Keep. up the amazing work dude!
Often I just print without taking all of these variables into account, usually I’m very excited with the result of just having a physical print. With that said it’s very nice of you to show your process of a more curated/precise process of prepping for print :)
This video just popped up in my feed and I think is the first one I have seen. Printing has always been the most arcane part of the process for me but being able to watch you gave me a new starting point. I am a Photoshop dummy so will need to watch this several times and walk through with one of my images to fully process. Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge. I am now a subscriber!
I took to printing my own images up to A3+ at home but anything bigger than that goes out to a lab. I like the look of Whitewall and will add them to my very short list (now standing at 2 labs). I recently got a BenQSW270C monitor and already own the same calibrator as you. The BenQ is an astonishing monitor and provides hardware calibration. I also love that I can switch from SRGB to AdobeRGB at the press of a button and the same for monochrome. Another thoughtful, helpful and insightful video. Cheers Kyle.
Thank you for showing us the way, White Wall is an amazing print lab, love the fact that they offer test prints on the cheap before commiting to something bigger.
Kyle McDougall and the algorithm reading my mind as I try to nail down print settings on my first personal photo project. Thanks for the excellent information.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of your process. Printing is something I don't do often enough, so I am somewhat intimidated by the best way to proceed. This has helped a lot!
This is a super helpful video. I particularly liked your discussion about re-sizing the image, in my case the part about upsizing to a larger size was helpful. Thanks.
I have alwasy wanted to print some of my photos off though i dont feel like they are very good, i am no way near a professional like your self, but often this video has helped an awful lot wih infomation as well as the anxiety of sending photos to be printed, thank you an awful lot Kyle for all of your videos!

wanted to print my work as well this helped thanks

Amazing video, I would love that print on my wall🎉🎉
put me in coach! great video, Kyle.
That image is awesome
Excellent tutorial. Would love to win one of these prints!
Thanks for the video I’m struggling with the whole process
Great information. I find that a lot of the time it is actually harder to prep a file for sending out rather than printing it yourself.
A lot of great information, I haven’t printed anything yet and this is very helpful.
Awesome work, would love a print!
Just moved into a new house, id love a print for the new living room🤍
been following it would be amazing to have your work in my office thank you!!
Greetings from Osaka, Japan! Thanks for the inspiration!
Even for home printing a (preferably hardware) calibrated monitor and soft proofing is such a godsend. Having a print right in one go saves a ton of money and (arguably more important) frustration.
Awesome! I’d like to have one of those on my wall
You take very good photos.
Nice Prints !

I love this photo as well as your videos!
I've just started printing my photos and I've been using Whitewall. This was an incredibly valuable video. I'll watch again and again!
Cheers, Jim. Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for choosing WhiteWall!
About to purchase my first 6x7 film camera. Looking forward to using your techniques when I print my first image.
Fantastic information. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this guide. I feel like I finally slightly understand the photoshop/lightroom printing prep process.
Great photo content on RUclips
stunning video and print. big ups. been gnarly watching your development through the years mate.
Awesome prints!
Glad i watched this since i was having trouble with sizing my images for my print service at university
Very interesting all the steps that you go through. Worth watching. thanks.
I’ve been trying to get smart on the best ways to print my work and then your video comes out a few days later. Thank you for the info!
Always refreshing to see your videos videos progressing us as artistic photographers and not reviewing lenses taking taking portraits of ladies saying how sharp the gear is
Thanks, Alasdair.
Kyle 🙌🏽
Good info. I refurbished an old epson that sat in an attic for 10 years and have been working on making better prints.
Beautiful Prints
Awesome Video!
Watched it all, 4 times. Have it saved on my learning list, I print some myself but there are quite a few improvements I can learn from here.
A concise description, thank you!
Great Video! Interested in the different papers, especially how they handle color vs B&W!
I’m now rescanning my current project on a flextight x5 and will be using it moving forward. I’m definitely gonna come back to this video when it comes time to print.
Thank you so much for all of that great information. I found it very helpful.

thank you for this video. very informative and can't wait to use this information in my printing.

Love the image color contrast - the warm colors of the building vs. the cold colors of the clouds

I am actually planning on printing some of my photos for the very first time! So this info is VERY USEFUL! Thanks Kyle!
Very welcome!
A lot of great tip 👌🏻. Very helpful and saved for later reference 😇.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻☺️.

Appreciate you putting out this video 🙌🏽🙌🏽. I was curious what the process was to print out photos the right way.
Fantastic Video, I lived in LA for 5 years and bought a printer, Canon from Eric Joseph at Freestyle, he set me up with profiled paper, it was Canson, I just loved it....
Excellent & very timely video for me, after printing items recently and wondering how I could have changed the file.
Would love a print!
Another interesting video! Beautiful prints, too! :)
Great vid as always!
This came at just the right time for me, I've been putting off printing my photos for a while due to a lack knowledge about how to get the print to look the way I like it. Thanks Kyle
Another great video Kyle, always a welcome notification to receive
Cheers, Darren!
Man Id love that print. I swear every video I learn something new from you. I had Shiyun loan and ship me that 65 Mitakon because of your video. Excited to make a video about it too!
I'm sure you'll love the Mitakon Dave!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME HOW YOU PRINT. IT WILL HELP ME WITH MY FUTURE PRINTING.
One of the best printing videos. Appreciate you sharing all that experience.
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙏

Thanks for the information. Thirty years in and still learning.
Always learning! That's part of the fun.
I've been using a tweaked version of your workflow for a while and it works great!
Awesome shot ❤
Wow turned out great in that black frame
Definitely saving this one. Great Video!
Brilliant video, I have been worried sick about getting some of my first medium format scanned film prints done but this is going to help massively so thank you very much :) Keep. up the amazing work dude!
No joke, this is one of the most useful videos I’ve seen in a while. Super timely for me, thanks so much!
Happy to hear that. Cheers.

Una para mi! Thank you for all your sharing teaching, Salud!
This was such a genuinely useful video! Thank you for being so thorough and not skipping over any step of the process.
Glad it was helpful!
Congrats on 100K subs ❤. Commenting to get an awesome print
Kyle McDougall and the algorithm reading my mind as I try to nail down print settings on my first personal photo project. Thanks for the excellent information.
Thank you for sharing your process.
Love your work and thank you for this video. Very informative, definitely my next step to start printing my work.
This video is insanely helpful
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of your process. Printing is something I don't do often enough, so I am somewhat intimidated by the best way to proceed. This has helped a lot!
Excellent work Kyle, congrats on the 200k
Very cool, and I definitely learned a lot from this! Just need to take the plunge and get one of my own images printed up like this now
Lovely photo☺️ and useful videos, congrats for the 100k🎉
Thanks for the tips and I'd love to own that print!
Thanks for sharing man!!! So many things I've never thought about!!!
I definitely need to calibrate my screen, also, congrats on 100K!
Thank you for the tips Kyle! Really helpful!
Always a good day when a new Kyle vid drops!
Beautiful prints and helpful video. Congrats!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Love your videos.
Looking forward to testing out my own prints using this method
I like how your shots seem like a blend of Kodachrome photographers from the 50s/60s combined with modern taste with a more "color graded look".
Great tips Kyle, as always. (I have the perfect spot in my apartment for that print!)
This is a super helpful video. I particularly liked your discussion about re-sizing the image, in my case the part about upsizing to a larger size was helpful. Thanks.

I want the print!
