hello all, for the sake of not being an ass and posting a question that's already been asked i searched the forum for anything relating but didn't find anything. i just sold my first three prints (major woody.lol) and i found a printer that can do the job as i want it done, no cropping no borders. anyway he had mentioned to me about artifiacts that he's not used to seeing in a digital print, especailly in a 6mp camera. he asked my work flow and i told him all the steps i take when doing my post work. part of that routine is to sharpen and unsharp mask it. that part made him think that's why i'm getting noise in prints. so is it better to not sharpen for the purpose of printing? one other question. when working in photoshop i notice that the photo appears brighter then when just viewing in windows. so when i'm working on an photo for posting here in the gallery i always view in ps as monitor rgb so i can see how it would look in windows. now for prints on the other hand should i just leave it set to working CMYK? thanks in advance for any tips or assistance. sorry also to be a pest but i want to get the best possible prints to offer for sale..
