First off, I know that the information in the Camera to Print video has been out there a long time, and may have been superceded by technology, but I still have some questions.
I think I understood most of the discussion on the Camera to Print video, done a few years back and which I have just gone back to review again, regarding the 480-180 resolution for output.
However, I have a few questions about the information there, including the details about sharpening related to output on a contone (photographic) printer. My question relates to output on a contone device, that is, when sending an image for output at a photo lab. I got the impression that all of the discussion on the video related to output on inkjet printers. Does the 480-180 resolution apply to output on a 'photo printer, such as that in a professional photo lab, as well as to output on an inkjet printer? That is, if I was going to send an image to a photo lab, say, at 16x20, would a 180ppi resolution be adequate? Would the discussion about uprezing in the video, if I was going to output a 20x30 at a photo lab, apply? That is, should I consider doing the super sharpening, photo grain, and output sharpening, at say 200%, on a Canon 5D file, as discussed on the video?
Secondly, if I did the uprez, should the output resolution be at 180 or 240ppi, for 'photo' output (as compared to inkjet output)?
Lastly, I saw here in this forum, a statement that the Super Sharpening 1 (done following an uprez) should be 'faded' to 10-15%. I did not get the impression, based on the video, that any kind of fading should be done, but I could easily have missed it or misunderstood the suggested workflow.
Again, I know the information in the video has been out there a long time, and maybe my questions are irrelevant today, but I'm still curious. Is there even more up to date info out there these days about these kinds of things?
