Pears

Emergency Pear Blip - before they get cooked.

A bit of a frustrating day. It began nicely with lovely coffee & walnut cake and coffee at the rectory. What then was disappointing was an afternoon at the studio printing.

I scanned the ICC profile of the paper I want to use, into the laptop so I could be sure I was getting the best colour rendition in the print. The trouble is, I'm just out of my comfort zone when it comes to matt, textured papers.

As an artist I used to enjoy watercolour on heavy cartridge paper and liked the result but I'm just not liking the look of my images. I even resorted to trying a couple on a lustre paper but that goes against my aim.

Of course, if only I had done this earlier, I could have taken them to The Photo Show and discussed it with my supplier. They may have said they looked wonderful... or sold me more paper!
