I have heat press envy. That thing is a beast!
On James’s recommendation I used HD Aluminium prints for my first metal prints, and I was 100% happy. I was just getting two small prints (8" x 24") but the quality was still excellent.
One huge advantage they have when ordering online is the option to order a test print (about $10 I think) that they ship to you for approval before printing your full-sized image. In my case the image was printed over 2 5"x7" sheets. Luckily on this one I saw that I had neglected to add lens corrections and I was able to correct the perspective errors and send an updated image to print full-sized. That $10 was well worth it and I will be using them again.
Thanks for this video. I have my first show coming up in a month and was looking for some sage advice on printing; and i found it.
I absolutely love seeing that process. I'm definitely guilty of not printing my images like I should, I really need to change that. I'd definitely like to try some metal prints.
You won't be disappointed - I highly recommend the semi-gloss finish, unless you are looking for a total matte finish. And, bigger is better!
Just came across your channel and binged a few videos. Your content is absolutely stunning and so incredibly educational. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
That's pretty dope
Wonderful
Very cool.
Love this video! Exactly what I have been seeking for my images...I am interested in the file format, all the specs of the image that you submit, to get the beautiful details in a super XL size. Thanks so much for making this video.
Glad it was helpful! Image specs for using HD Aluminum Prints in Vancouver is available on their website - www.hdaluminumprints.com/ordering-tips
Hi James, so I am getting ready to have them print my very first image. Do you have any export tips for LRC before I send it to them? TY
If your monitor you use to edit on isn't color calibrated, I recommend you pay the few extra dollars to have them color correct/adjust brightness. If you are printing something that is pretty dark, I recommend bumping the exposure a half a stop in post to make sure you don't crush the shadows. And if you just aren't sure, pay the $7 for a test print, especially if you are getting a big print.
@@JamesParkerPhotography This one is a 5 generation family photo which was taken outdoors. Last minute and not a planned photo but grandma is 93 years old and sick and she wants a nice print.
As for export setting to get to them.
Image Format - JPEG
Color Space - SRGB
Quality - 100
Resolution - 300ppi
Am I in the ballpark?
Yes - that should do fine.
@@JamesParkerPhotography Thank you.
What grit is the sand paper?
Sorry. I have no idea - I imagine it’s very fine.
Mr. Parker, I mean no offense; you're a great photographer (you put in the miles) and HD Aluminum Prints are a thing to behold, but I found this presentation to be nothing more than an 8:43 ad. Do you think the average photographer can afford to have their work taken to that level of expense? Besides that, I think CZcams has enough ads already.
You'd be surprised how affordable prints can be (if you are in the United States - I have no frame of reference for the rest of the world when it comes to print costs). I think the best thing you can do as a photographer is to print your work - bigger is better. It is so impactful. And yes, I highly recommend HD Aluminum Prints here in Vancouver WA. I do hope you did learn something on how the prints are made.
In 5 to 10 years when you’ve already sunk $10,000 or so into this hobby and gotten enough experience and exposure (pun intended) to subjects and you’ve finally created what you consider a masterpiece you may very well be willing to spend $2,000 or whatever to fill up a wall. Or you’ll build enough reputation or portfolio to sell to someone who does want to spend that much. You could always print on paper for a fraction of the cost and put it on a cheap foamboard, but it may not last a lifetime like metal or acrylic will.
