My apologies if this has been covered before. Some aspects have, but not all. For many years, my photos were shared digitally with friends, family and online groups. Then, a couple of years ago, I was looking through some old photo albums of mine, and I missed having hard copies of the photos. So I had a few printed at a retail camera store and was disappointed at how underexposed they turned out. The smaller size and cropping that was necessary because of differences in print size and digital size further reduced the appeal of the photograph. So I switched from 4x6 to 5x7, then couldn't find photo albums for that dimension, although was finally able to find some online. I understand, somewhat, that I have to change the settings in my photo editing software (I currently use ON1 Photo RAW). What is confusing, is that when I order prints, such as from Black's (a popular camera company in Canada which closed its brick and mortar stores and sells all their products/services online, there is a section you can check off for them to make adjustments needed; however, I'm not sure to what extent. So, the questions I have are: 1. If I submit my photos for printing based on the default settings in the photo editing software that is tailored to the computer, will they be able to make the necessary adjustments on their end? 2. If not, what settings should I use to most closely match a 5x7 print? There appears to be two factors - the ratio and pixel size, is that right? What are the equivalent dimensions (e.g. 1000 x 5000) and ratio? 3. Should extra sharpening be added? 4. Should I increase brightness/exposure? 5. How will changing these settings for print change how these photos will look on screen? 6. Can anyone recommend any tutorial on this? Thanks very much.
