sorry i just dont have any experiance with this so i ask:bow

first let me say i understand auto color and true color options but i dont understand exposure & sharpening adjustments per print

does canvas require more sharpening? should i add exposure too?

are there settings on a pro account to set specific sharpening for each type of matieral? like metallic compared to canvas? (or does Bayphoto do the adjustments for us already?)

how does it work when a order comes into Bayphoto:
someone looks at the image and determines setting for us or is it just defaults?

what if i have processed a image and bayphoto knows it would look better with an adjustment of somekind like sharpening...would they let me know or even ask me?
or do they just run it through as is and i just need to know what im doing?

thanks, A

    Yes, sharpen for print. Give me a link to your finished work, I'll be happy to have a look :D


    When you choose Color Correction at Bay Photo, we'll adjust density, white balance, color and exposure. http://www.smugmug.com/help/too-red

    here is one i feel is how i want it, but i dont want the print on canvas to seem like a under exposed image and i have no idea if i have sharpness correct:





    here is another i want on canvas but dont know if the color will turnout right and i dont know if i need to add sharpness to reflect on canvas how i have the leaves and branches here:

    Sharpness is fine on both. The first is a bit dark IMO.
