A sunny morning and an early rise - so what to do? Printing. I know this is not what many people would have thought but I do find it very therapeutic. It is a precise and yet requires a degree of artistic flair to get it about right. I say about right because you never get a perfect reproduction of what you see on the screen what with converting from 16bit to 8 bit, issues surrounding gamut and so on. Now I have to wait. The most important lesson I have learnt is that you cannot really judge whether a print is sucessful until at least 24 hours after it has been printed - this allows the inks to properly dry. So I have 15 A4 sheets of paper hanging about the place - a nice problem to have althought I am not sure my long suffering wife sees it this way.
