[Leica] Digital printing discussion

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Jayanand, I could suggest two books that I have found very helpful if you
are interested?
Fine Art Printing for Photographers
(exhibition Quality Prints with Inkjet Printers)
Uwe Steinmueller & Juergen Gulbins
Black and White in Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Lightroom
Leslie Alsheimer.
I got mine from Amazon
 
I've changed the thread name now to better reflect where the discussion has
gone. It's a very worthy topic too!
I also trimmed the thread. We could all save a few electrons if we trimmed
the thread on occasion ;-)


Cheers
Geoff

Has anyone on the list done any good Digital Printing workshops that they
recommend?
Cheers
