Hard Proofing method

[Dylan & Marianne]

Every once in a while, you reach and 'aha!!' moment in photography
One I remember is discovering luminosity masks

More recently, I found a method to hard proof just the once before sending off prints for clients.
If any of you do large prints for clients, I would HIGHLY recommend Sean Bagshaw's tutorial which can be found here

Thanks for the share Dylan, very interesting indeed, I was going to ask you why your photo going to the printers was banded, but after watching the video I understand now.

Yeah, the banding got me curious as well .. so I HAD to watch the video too.

Makes sense
