With a Lightjet print, the lab does the vast majority of the work. If you can adjust one of your shots in Photoshop and burn it on a CD you are done. Calibrating the monitor is simple. You stick the probe via a suction cup on the screen, plug it in the computer, run the software and it does the rest. You may have to adjust the brightness or contrast knob, if the software requests it. I still print wet, and still prefer the look of a silver print, but I hate making anything bigger than a 11x14 in my tiny darkroom. The Lightjet route has also been great for damaged negatives. feli --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feli di Giorgio feli2@earthlink.net www.elanphotos.com
