You'll be pleased to hear that the RPS still likes prints rather than files. Last time I entered for a distinction I took along some pictures I'd exported to a disk from LR. They looked piss poor when they were projected, and the assessors recommended that I show prints next time. Now I just have to learn to print. That's annoying, because I got my original distinction by showing slides, which were so much nicer than prints, and projected beautifully through their Leica projector onto their cinema-sized screen.
