Printing digital photos is a fairly intuitive and simple process, but sometimes the prints we receive are blurry or look different from the desired effect we wanted to achieve. To avoid these mistakes, we present the most common errors that cause our photos not to turn out as we wanted.
The first and most basic mistake that amateur photographers make is inadequate resolution of our photo. If it's too small and we choose a large format, we'll receive a poor quality photo that is blurry and unclear, resembling an old TV. To avoid this mistake, it's worth ensuring the quality of the uploaded file, which will certainly directly affect the result we get on the printed photo.
Another pitfall when it comes to photo printing is white balance and flash light. If the photo is overexposed, white spots will appear on our prints, covering the photo, and if the photo is too dark, we'll receive photo prints that look like we're viewing them through sunglasses. Color balance is also important so that our photo isn't too green, blue, or red.
Finally, it's worth paying attention to the photo size. Sometimes when we take photos in an unusual format, after printing we get white stripes on the sides of the photo or our photograph gets cropped to fill the entire print area. It's worth paying attention to this so that the final result meets our expectations. The last step is also checking the file format in which we saved our file.
In summary, printing photos is a great way to preserve and enjoy memories, but if we don't take time to optimize the image, check its settings and details, and make sure the quality meets our standards, the prints may not look their best. So it's worth paying attention to these common mistakes to ensure we get beautiful prints.
