Some Guidance Please.

Now that I have shot my Wedding, I've back up originals NEFS 2 copies each on CD.

Now, I'm slowly sorting & fixing a few up at the moment. When I have done this, this is what I was going to do and I would appreciate other tips from the more experienced among us here.

First Step : Proofs

Once I am happy with the look I will crop to 3.5 x 3.5 or 4 x 6
Save as High 12 Jpeg and put on CD and take to Printers.
I have Calibrated my Computer to their requirments and they said their Tech will monitor in Batches of Colour Correction & Brightness.
If Needed. ?

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here or does it seem alright to you ?

Thanks,

Mic.

looks good... just one thing... i leave the shots as tiffs as my printer can deal with them quite fine...

cheers

depends how you want to do your proofs? They can be done electronically as an alternative. On a CD or as a slide DVD presentation to music.

What are the married couple expecting? What did you offer them?

what software do you use fo that Craig (to music on DVD)

[xerubus]

i use a program called picturestoexe ... allows you to add music etc etc blah and saves the entire presentation as one .exe file.

that being said... i still prefer (and recommend to clients) to print the majority of shots as 4x6 proofs and give the preview album to the couple...

Thanks guys,

I think I'll do the 4x6's, will it make much difference between tiff or Jpeg on small proofs like this. I will do the bigger ones as tiffs ?

Thanks,

Mic.
