The latest version of LR running on the last MacOS Print module crashes regularly when I try to change the paper size (seriously? Thought they had that figured out in 1992). So I used this as an opportunity to download and learn Canon’s ‘Professional Print and Layout’ for my Pro-1000. Used as a LR plug-in it solved the problem and gave me some new options. As with all software there is a learning curve based on time and 4x6 test prints. Thinking of getting and learning Qimage for the same reason. Thanks for the great advice - as a field engineer and trainer working in the field I learned to ALWAYS have an alternative in my pocket. Sounds like you’ve been there too.

Yes,

Been there many times! Just had this discussion with a local photographer here that reached out yesterday or the day before as he was having "color issues" that made no sense in LR...

Thank You. I get a lot of practical value from your publication. Please keep it up. I am making a book on Khadi paper using Awagami kozo paper similar to what was discussed on your newsletter. Will let you know how it goes.

This is in response to "If there is interest I’d be glad to write up what we do at LPFA and what we’ve run into given that we host workshops and in many cases have broken upgrades at the worst possible times."

PLEASE DO A WRITE UP ON HOW TO HAVE AN ALTERNATE METHOD TO PHOTOSHOP TO PRINT WHEN PHOTOSHOP UPGRADES BREAK THE PRINTING PROCESS.

Thanks.

Okay,

Will do that as well as practical advice in managing your printing environment if NOT hosting workshops (we have a few conflicting requirements there) and alternatives on the software environment we use.

Thanks for your help identifying my printing issues identified in your wrap-up article. I never really thought that a previously working version of Photoshop can fail on the print end. My index of suspicion is now high and agree totally about having another printing platform available.

No problem Craig,

It was great talking with you. Hopefully you can drop by sooner or later as travel permits. Glad we could be of any assistance at all.

Ps. We are sometimes useful only because we've gone through the school of hard knocks banging our head against the printers asking "how can this be?" so many times. ;-)
