Wow, those dark default backgrounds sure do make things “pop”. Save them for your slideshows. Dark backgrounds are the source of pain.

As I write this installment of our community newsletter my original list of topics changed. I had a laundry list of practical shooting and post-processing tips last week to cover. Instead, I am going to discuss one that was on that original list. All the others are now replaced with some thoughts on diagnosing printer/printing problems.

Why this change of heart? I am literally in the middle of trying to assist a member of the community diagnose one of those crazy, out-of-the-blue, everything looks right but the print comes out wrong kind of issues. It happens, many times it’s our fault for not triple-checking what we’re doing. Many times it’s software, hardware, and other bug-a-boos of a complicated bag of techno-mess we use to create.
