    Online digital printing in Canada

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    I've been scanning some of my medium format film, and tweaking it a

    bit in Photoshop. I don't currently have a darkroom, and my printer is

    only so-so. Our one and only photo shop in town isn't very well

    equipped...

     

    I'd like to try some online print services (in Canada), but I'm a

    newbie at this. Do I need to convert to .jpg, do the files need to be

    shrunk to be emailed, do I need to send a specific file size for, say,

    an 11x14 print?

     

    Thanks!

    Darren

    Now is a nice time to visit the area (I live in Invermere, about

    1-1/2 hours drive west of Banff; we're right on the western edge of the Rockies). The crowds have thinned and the weather is crisp in the mornings, but still unseasonably warm later in the day for this time of year. Be aware that weather change fast around these parts! Three weeks ago, I was driving around Calgary in a blizzard.

    All the tamarack (or larch, if you prefer) have past their bright yellow stage, and are rather dull looking right now, but the aspen, poplar, willows and alder are in various stages of fall colours depending on where you look.

    There were some huge forest fires throughout the area this summer, and the smoke has finally cleared, providing incredibly crisp and clear days when the weather allows.

    As for the northern lights, we occasionally can get some spectacular shows around here, but your timing would have to be pretty good. Often when there is aurora, it's nothing more than a dull green glow in the northwest sky. The further north you go, the better your chances of seeing good northern lights.
