I mostly do corporate, but have been enlisted by a friend to shoot

their wedding. I think mainly to help cut costs (not eliminate

them).

 

I am digital, and I want to offer prints to all the people at the

wedding. For example, have an e-commerce site to sell my

photos, and give people a card at the reception with the address.

But, I need to have an e-mail sent to me (so I can order off the

web) or an e-mail sent to my local lab to have them print the

photos.

 

How do other people handle this?

One thing that you could do is to print some "test strips." Take your 1.2 mp image and resize it to 16 x 20 in Photoshop (or your favorite image editor). Crop that image back down to a 4 x 6 size (select part of the image that you would like to see detail in). Print that image out on 4 x 6 glossy paper. You can even take a CF or SD card to the local camera shop and take images to come back to the office and print test strips to compare between different resolutioins and lenses. Also, this will let you have samples to show the IT guy, without spending a lot of money to see what quality you need. I use this tecnique when I'm color corecting an image.
