Making the Print


In the interest of full disclosure, I do make a small commission if you purchase your eBooks using the links on the bottom of this page. If you do chose to purchase this eBook, or any other from Craft & Vision, I would appreciate it if you enter their websites using these links; doing so will keep reviews like this one coming to my blog.

It always amazes me how little emphasis some photographers put on printing. They spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on cameras, lights and lenses. They spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours creating photographs they care deeply about. And after all that, they spend $3 a piece to print their photos at Walmart. When you look at it that way, I don’t think it makes much sense. There are fantastic tools and techniques out there for you to create printed images that are true to what you see on your computer, and more importantly, true to your intention.

On that note, I am excited to announce the release of “Making the Print: Printing Techniques for the Digital Photographer”. The eBook is written by Martin Bailey, who you may remember from the free Craft & Vision eBook that was released before Christmas. He discussed printing in that eBook as well.

If you want to learn more about professionally printing your images and the tools available (both software and hardware) to you, then picking up this eBook is a no brainer. Printing is expensive, and for only $5 you can be prepared to make informed choices, not to mention pick up the technical knowledge on how to create amazing prints. Martin covers everything from color calibration, to various paper and printer types, and even discusses step by step how to create a gallery wrap. Software and soft proofing are among the other important parts of printing that are discussed in depth.

For a serious photographer that wants to start printing their own images, someone who wants to just improve their existing process, or even someone who is just curious, this eBook is great. Like every Craft & Vision eBook, this one is worth far more than the $5 price tag ($4 for the next week, using my discount code below). I highly recommend it.

To get this eBook for $4, make sure to use the code PRINT4 when you checkout. This code is valid until January 21st, then the book is $5. If you want to pick more content up from Craft & Vision, you can used the code PRINT20 to get 20% off your purchase of 5 or more eBooks from Craft and Vision.
