Practical exercise
Printing your first photo: try it yourself

1. Calibrate Screen
Use free tool (e.g., DisplayCAL) for accurate colours.
2. Test Print
Order 6x4” print before large canvas.
3. Paper Choice
Try matte (elegant) vs. glossy (vibrant).
4. Crop for Print
Match aspect ratio (e.g., 4x6 = 3:2).
5. Colour Space
Export as sRGB for most labs; avoid Adobe RGB unless specified.
