Back to School

Well Labor Day has come and gone, all the summer clothes are now stored until next Memorial Day and life is starting to feel a little more normal. I love summer, I really do, but come each Labor Day I am usually exhausted. Our summer has been filled with lots of fun trips, great times shared with friends and family, and more cook-outs and tomato pie than I care to count. I have never been so excited to attend a back to school night in my life. I guess I would feel differently about saying goodbye to my kids during the active mid day hours if I felt they were actually dreading going to school (the way I did), but when the first carpool door flew open and my kids burst out of my car without even saying a word, it actually made me feel happy. On this special day I exchanged the "I love you daddy" my daughter normally leaves me with for the kids' laughter as they departed my car running after friends. Hearing their laughter made me feel even better because I knew that they were happy with the school we had chosen. At Mastercolor "Back to School" also has another special meaning: "Back to printing lots of pictures". Don't get me wrong, we love printing your vacation proofs, a canvas gallery wrap from your favorite scenic spot, and seeing all the wonderful places our customers have traveled when we print their photo books using our ROES software, but nothing makes me happier than strolling through the plant and seeing "units" pour out of the machines.

BE PREPARED, BE PREPARED....

Yesterday I had a good friend of mine stop by our location to pick up a nice order he had placed for Canvas Gallery Wraps of his children. My friend had ordered 29 16x20 or larger to decorate his house with, and after my many grateful thanks, we talked about the pictures he had captured and some of the problems we had in printing them. When he initially emailed his files to me, many were low resolution, so we had to track them back to the original files.

Please.... Don't touch the contrast

It is the single most common mistake we see when new photo editors start playing with their images. Let me start by saying " I don't blame them", whenever you bump up the contrast is makes your image burst of the monitor. The adjustments to your new file will also "burst" off the page, literally. One of the biggest short comings in this digital photo world we live in is that your printed matter will never match your monitor perfectly.

Fall Break, Creep into Nature
