But, I'll still say I don't like the skinnier one. If you can come up with a wider one, I'll take it into consideration.

Sorry - what is PYP? I can't recall the ratio actually.

And it's not straight out of the camera, it's a pp'd Jpeg, I shoot RAW. I processed how I wanted it to look, uploaded it to flickr and posted it in the Post Your Photos forum.

I went in to collect the sample pack, and talk with them about what I need to do, but they would have been just as happy to do this over the phone and by mail. They also have a lot of information on how to get good prints on their website....

If that's Brilliant Prints, Richard, I got a couple from them and they live up to their name.

Well, fellers, I don't live in Australia, so I won't be having mine printed there. Let's keep this printing strictly in the USA please, unless you'll want to pay my air fare to get there.

I took the liberty to play with it and make it 16x20. Just a small preview version here for various reasons. If you like it, let me know where you would want it uploaded. I'll eventually probably delete it here.

I like it but I'm not sure what you mean here. Where I want it uploaded is where I'll upload it, not you. And I don't care that it stays in this thread. If that's what you meant?

But each time any of you upload it, it seems to get darker.

We'll pass the hat around. ;-)

Sorry for the digression.

I could go with that. I have a few Ozzie friends I'd like to meet in person, one who said his house was my house if I ever came to Australia.

In fact, moderator PJV's wife has named me an honorary Ozzie.

I don't know why that would be - I just viewed them side by side in my browser, and they're the same. Sometimes images look different when I view them in the file manager and browser - something about the way the colour profiles are managed, I think.

I guess it depends on your browser and your computer and/or your monitor. I'm using FireFox on a HP IPS calibrated monitor with Windows 8.1 onboard video laptop.
