Quick question. I have always done prints in Lustre, and have been happy with the result. Having said that, I have heard Metallic are just gorgeous, so I am tempted to go that route. My question is, are there certain photos that will look way better in metallic because of the photo itself? Or is it safe to say ALL photos look better in Metallic? I have 15 or so photos of my daughter that I want to print, but not sure if it makes sense to use metallic or not...thanks in advance!

FYI....these are the pics that I am thinking about doing: http://randya.smugmug.com/gallery/6737735_hMVrw#430339647_3uGm3

    Try them. Metallic has to be seen to be believed - it's so hot.

    I agree; they really stand out. I have some metallic prints in my office and people have definitely noticed them. Portraits on white seamless really seem to pop with the metallic prints; nice rich tones and highly detailed/sharp prints.
