As you may know, something is lost in the transition from transmitted light to reflected light. In other words, ink on paper is not capable of truly matching your monitor.
Now this is not a bad thing and is nothing new. We're only aware of the difference now that most images are viewed on high tech and often too bright LCD and LED monitors.
One way to compensate for the difference is to give your printer as much photographic information as possible - more detail about the shadows, highlights, and tonal transitions. One way to do this is with High Dynamic Range image processing. Using HDR, you can create images with expanded detail from shadows to highlights, or you can make hyperrealistic images with exaggerated colors and sharpness. |
