I think to make smugmug truely great we need to find somewhere to get light jet panorama prints, and TRUE Black and White prints. That would be complete euphoria...

Hi matt,
Yes, I agree. Currently EZ Prints uses color paper for B&W and it would be awesome if they used real B&W paper. Also, their panoramas are done on older-style CRT-based printers and that's why we don't offer them. They've been threatening to move them to laser printers and I hope they do.

All the best,

I remember this being the reply I got when I emailed help. In fact I created my own EZprints account so I could test the panoramic prints myself, but I've since decided against it, for the time being, since their prices are so incredibly low I've got a pretty hefty hunch that they're visibly less than light jet quality.
I know it's probably quite difficult, but could we send panoramas / true B&W somewhere else to get printed? I don't know of anywhere else that offer's light jet panos, other than my local lab, but some places like Mpix offer metallic / true B&W prints...
Back to orig "new features" title of this thread... "history" file?
Don (or other SM'ers)--Is there a "history" or "change history" or somesuch poasted anywhere? This would be a nice/easy way to let people get oriented or "catch up" to the weekly (wow) improvements in SM.

Just do a search for "new features" as thread title and you'll get a nice collection of posts started by Don.
Large Print File Size
Just to add my 2cents, before using Smugmug, I would prepare my 24x36 in prints in a Photoshop file that would end up to be ~ 220MB. In order to meet the printing requirements of the typical photolabs, such as Whitehouse CC, I would be required to save the file as JPG10, 300dpi, SRGB. The transferred file would end up to be less than 10MB.

Ah, I love postulating!
