If you’ve taken a photo you’re proud of then there’s no better way to display it than in print. A physical print will aggrandise the photo in a way that can’t be matched by posting it online or viewing it on a screen. Whether you want to make a print for the wall, prepare a set of images for a photobook or send it off to be professionally printed, there are some things you can do beforehand that will make your image look its absolute best. Affinity Photo 2 has all the tools you need and, with an exceptional soft-proofing feature, you can preview how the print is likely to look and fine-tune the colours.
Soft-proofing is an important yet overlooked step in print preparation. By using downloaded ICC printer profiles, we can get an accurate idea of how our print will look, no matter the combination of printer and paper we’re using. Typically the blacks will go brighter, as prints can’t produce blacks as deep as your computer screen. Strong, saturated colours may also become more muted. But there are tricks we can use to ensure the colours and tones in the print are as rich as possible. Find out more at affinity.serif.com/photo
