I agree, seeing a print is a completely different experience compared to viewing on a screen. I would not have agreed until trying it myself. Canon Selphie (hate the name) was a great experience for not a lot of $$ compared to a proper medium or large format printer. Astounding print quality for the price. Good to learn the whole process of printing on before moving up to the big leagues too. Creating a custom profile for your printer's shadow and highlight levels was eye opening. Printing a black gradient from 0-15 (0-256 for this printer) and seeing where the level becomes indistinguisable, and "crushing" your black levels to that point, made Hubble pictures have inky black backgrounds. Prior, the computer did the black interpolation, creating the patchy gradients that you see with streaming services and compression artifacts in dark scenes. Did the same for whites, and clouds started to get a more 3d effect.
Great topic Samuel. I enjoy printing on my small Canon printer. I find that my family members and friends really enjoy getting prints, even if they are not the greatest or the largest.

It’s definitely a learning journey but with amazing results! Really satisfying
Great video Samuel and it is true that images look so much better in print !

Love the music 😉
