You can think at one point your denser shot is better but a year later you decide that a brighter happier image is what is needed. Also what looks good projected out of a projector needs to be a half stop darker than what looks good on a light table. So it depends on your presentation. And you give the magazine the denser one. Which would be the same one you'd print from yourself. On 9/21/15 10:01 PM, "Richard Man" <richard at richardmanphoto.com> wrote: > So decadent to be able to afford 3 sheets!!
