Hi, sort of like title really.

Taken lots of photos with my Nikon D90 and even though I play around with them in lightroom/PS etc. Before I send them of to be printed. I was just curious, if what I see is what will actually get printed.

Only have a run of the mill Packard bell Laptop.

I am trying to put the 'NEF' File here for you to look at it. But for some reason cannot seem to put it on Flickr?

Just wondered if some of you on here maybe have a calibrated / IPS monitor so you can look at this image and give me your opinion if it does look okay.


Thanks. (still trying to get the RAW image here for you)

Aye you'll need a calibrator for it to be exact. Pretty sure some printing labs give you a specific colour profile to use.

I do not have any knowledge on that at the moment, re: colour profiles etc



Just tried and exported as a TIFF file but it was 69MB so a bit big for on here I think.



Here it is as a Jpeg. I do not know if that is anygood compared to my original RAW/NEF file though?

Bit lost how to get a NEF file on here for you to look at? (any advice please)

Thing is I have played with it in Lightroom, just not sure how to get what I have changed in lightroom so YOU can see it. Do I just export the photo as a jPEG and then stick it on Flickr again?

Also what do you mean by DR please.

Thank you for replying D.P.
