Good suggestion. Another thing I do is during my edit, make sure I am
really pushing the histogram, and I push the brightness a little more
agressively with the tone curve than I would otherwise. Just to make
sure a good amount of the brightest tones are really bright. Usually it
works quite well
The problem of printed photographs being darker than what we see on the
