There are too many choices to print them all. I would waste tons of paper and ink. You can make decisions based on 100% pixel views which will help you determine which photos will look best when printed. I'm also trying out about 6 conversion softwares to find out which ones best sharpen, reduce vignetting, reduce noise, color balance, etc. The only way to do that is by testing it all out before I ever decide to make one print. There's no way I could ever make prints that would include all of the variables possible. When I've narrowed it down, then I'll make the 11x14 prints. With a calibrated monitor and printer, I know that I'll get exactly what I see with the files from my 5D. I'm not there yet with the M8. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
