Print Your Snaps With PictBridge

Posted by on 03/16 at 05:19 PM

We all like taking lots of photos of our family and friends everywhere we go. Some of us still have to wait for the fat envelope full of prints to arrive from the photo-processing house to see how our snapshots came out. But, most of us Geeks have long since switched to digital still cameras and can instantly see the results on the tiny LCD screen on the camera. What is missing is a photograph on a piece of paper. It’s somehow more satisfying to shuffle through a stack of prints.

  1. First, let me say that I think PictBridge is a great idea, as it will hopefully make color matching between different devices and software much easier.  I was excited to read about the interpolability of PictBridge in your article.

    At the same time I think it is important to remember that there is much satisfaction in “spend[ing] hours “photo shopping” images and waiting patiently by [the] printer to see how it comes out.” It is nice to know that technology is making it much simpler to get a decent to good print straight from the camera, but some us photo geeks still like to get the best out of every shot.  Not everything is made better by simplification, and sometimes quality and beauty lie in the subtleties.  Plus, I like waiting for my pictures to print - it adds suspense!

    Keep Writing about new technologies!

  2. I hope you can help me.  I am about as dumb as a rock when it comes to my computer, therefore it tells me things I don’t understand, & does crazy tnings I can’t seem to fix.  I use my computer for photo printing & storage, Printing prototypes for Women’s Ministry, I make the first one...they make all the following copies at the church. I e-mail a lot..& also do on-line shopping since I don’t drive..My biggest gripe is every time I delete anything..this beast just makes more copies instead!It’s a CompaQ FS7600..about 3 yrs old.  Help!!!  Thanks!!
