Printing#

Due: Week 8 — March 5

Now that you’ve learned to correct your images, it’s time to become comfortable outputting your digital images to physical prints. The objective of this assignment is to establish printing workflows so that you can develop a strong sense of how images on a screen will translate to ink on paper.

Select 5 digital and/or scanned images from your library.
In Photoshop, adjust image density, colour corrections, and sharpening so that there are no clipped details or visible casts. All files should be clean at 100% with no visible dust, scratches, or obvious defects.
Choose the paper type that best suits the image from the Photography Depot. You may need to test which paper is best suited to the content and style of your images. You are required to use a minimum of 3 different paper types.
Use the test strip workflow we learned in class to correct your prints until you’re happy with the output.
Print five (5) corrected images as prints no larger than 17 × 22 inches.

Save your corrected image files in unflattened TIFF, PSD, or PSB format with organized and labelled layers, and the naming convention of first and last name followed by a title and the image dimensions.

Example: adam-simms-trees-16x20.psd

Send your layered files via WeTransfer to the instructor and bring your physical prints to class.
