    Gosh, this is Nigel from 5+ years ago. Welcome back! You're an awesome educator!
  • @MHLawther
    I enjoy watching your videos because of the good photography information but also your soothing voice and demeanor. You're like the Bob Ross of photography.
  • @Michael-Bennett
    I'm always amazed at the actual ability/technology of the printer. Just the fact that these machines can spray miniscule dots of ink with such stunning accuracy for both detail and colour is really astounding.
  • Just starting to get into printing myself... love videos like this because printing is sooooo intimidating. Thank u
  • @smartiefox256
    I really appreciate that you took your time with this one. No rushing to match some algorithms, just high quality and very helpful content! You set the bar sky high for our other fellow photographers on this platform 😊
  • @fototripper
    This was great Nigel. I do the same things in Photoshop, same tools, different interface so it was interesting to see how it performs in LR. Love the Fotospeed paper.

    Well, I’ve been looking at buying a printer for ages, but this video has just given me a kick up the backside to splash the cash! My grandad used to print all the time, I also used to snoop round his dark rook when I was a kid, he got so much enjoyment out of it and I have many of his prints still. I think it’s now my turn to put ink to paper. Thanks Nigel!!

    Just a tip about monitor color calibration: as time passes and the screen gets older the colors will change. That's why I've bought a calibration device myself: got a high quality screen here, but every three months when I recalibrate its colors have always shifted somewhat. I guess it depends on how close to perfect you want your screen to be: I still think it's worth the money to buy a quality color calibration device. We're spending thousands on gear: why cheap out on a 150-300 dollar (depending on your needs) device that can be used for countless devices (including televisions, with a laptop), will be used for a lot longer than the average camera nowadays and plays quite a large part in the quality of your final image? It's like putting cheap tires on a Ferrari.
  • @FranzGraf
    I started printing because I saw your videos. Nothing huge in my case, but printing and having photos in my hands is really awesome!
