<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2507269, member: 19463"]I was not aware of this but it makes sense. The difference between how a photo appears on a computer monitor and on a paper print can be substantial so it makes sense to allow for these differences when making photographs. There are many things to consider. I like my black background images but if I were printing them out on an in jet printerm the ink cost would be horrific compared to white backgrounds. If I were issuing a price list on cheap paper, the bleed through to the back of the page would make those images a big mistake. I find the white backgrounds most people use to be glaring on my screen and Costco charges the same for a solid black photo as for a solid white one so I made my selections accordingly. CNG and the like who make expensive printed catalogs play by completely different rules. Things like paper and ink selection are important in that universe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
