Always RAW. Then into TIFF. :)

I prefer it to my kit lens and I'll use it for outdoor shoots.. I don't think it's anything to write home about. But then, I prefer prime lenses anyway. *shrug*

The D700 is on my wishlist, but I think I'm still a good year away from it.. so it sounds like the 17-55mm is my best bet for now. Incidentally, the two recommendations I've had for the 17-35mm use 'full-frame'. Thanks guys!

I really like digilabpro.co.uk. And lustre, always lustre. :)

I've had both of these recommended to me, and just wondered if anyone had any further opinions on either? I shoot with a D200, and would be using for portraits and weddings. Thanks! :)

Is it the same thing?

They sent out the print and I've managed to do it as close as I can.. the screen is still a bit brighter, especially the greens and reds, but I can live with that! Thank you to everyone who responded, I understand what it is and how to do it a lot better now!

At the risk of sounding completely stupid... dpi? I thought it'd be in ppi...?

I contacted the lab and they've emailed me a Fuji chart and are sending a printed one in the post for me to try and calibrate with. My life would be a lot easier if Adobe Gamma existed for Mac! Hopefully I can figure it out when I get the chart; at the moment I've managed to get it close but the...

Maybe I'm just overtired but I've reread all the replies here and I'm none the wiser!

I'm sorry.. I'm kind of missing what the advice is here. I use the sRGB profile, which is what my lab uses. I calibrate my monitor and match the gamma and temperature settings. I don't really understand what it is I'm meant to do to fix this. Should I do the colour chart thing? Should I continue...

Yes, that's right - they're printed onto photo paper, not inkjet printed. I know that my screen is properly calibrated, it was just too bright... but now I've adjusted that issue with this DarkAdapted program I'm concerned how my pictures look on other monitors that haven't been darkened for the...

That's what I presumed. I'll give them a call tomorrow (as today's a bank holiday) and see what they suggest. But I didn't have this problem with my PC and have always used the same calibration system and lab. I don't mind having to lighten my pictures up before printing, I just worry about...

I don't print at home - I use www.digilabpro.co.uk. And I calibrate with Pantone hueyPro.

I've recently switched over from a PC to an iMac, and totally love it. However, I'm having some problems getting my screen calibration to match my prints and I was hoping you guys might have some words of wisdom. About a week ago, with my iMac shiny and new, I got this picture printed off...
