Just wanted to say "Thank You EPZ Team" for the Highly Commended Award on my image Golden Hour on Dalmore Beach.
I was really delighted and the award helps to spur me on to continue improving my photography.
Many thanks again Guys.

Yes Bren I'm finding out very quickly that it's a minefield but both Loxley and DSCL are being very helpful.
There are cheaper companies out there (one I found to be half the cost of Loxley & DSCL) but I feel that you get what you pay for usually, and that probably holds true in the photographic printing world too

Hi Everyone,
At last I have time to sit at my computer to read your advice properly and say thanks for your help.
Loxley and D & S Color Labs look like two great printing companies and I've been in touch with both of them and they're very helpful.
A further complication for me is that one of my friends wants to buy one of my prints at 3 foot by 2 foot so I'm having to quickly learn all about image size/dpi/mega pixels -v- print size etc.
I absolutely agree that I shouldn't sell my prints too cheaply and I'm going to take a professional approach to costing/pricing taking into account my time spent on processing etc and then add a sensible mark up.
I really appreciate you all taking the time to let me have your great advice.
Thanks again

Hi everyone,
I'm sure this question must have been asked loads of times before but can anyone advise what I should charge for prints of my images?
My friends are asking if I will sell them prints but I haven't got a clue where to start with pricing.
Also can anyone recommend a good printing company?
Grateful for any advice.

Thanks for all the advice guys, a quick update.........
I used Bridge to rename the files in the offending folder but rather than delete any images from within Bridge I went into Windows photo viewer and I could plainly see all of the duplicates as they were next to the original images in the display. I just went through and eyeballed all of the dupes and manually deleted them. Took me a while but I felt it was the safest way to do it.
Anyway, big lesson learned
I'm just learning to use Lightroom for importing and organising my images and hopefully this shouldn't happen to me again, although........never say never!!

Thanks for that great tip Angie. I've taken the precaution of creating a duplicate folder and will work on that one - deleting what seem to be the duplicate images that Bridge identifies.
Then if I muck up I'll still have the original folder to fall back on.

Would anyone be able to advise on a good programme for finding duplicate photos please.
In one of my folders where there should only be approx 1,400 photos there are 5,500! Upon inspection I found that somehow I have loads of duplicates
Hoping someone can advise on a good programme I can download from the net.
Cheers

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your advice...I've found the option in PS this morning and,as you advised, have changed the colour space from ProPhoto to AdobeRGB (1998) and, yes - it's worked. The colours of the image I've uploaded this morning are displayed faithfully in the thumbnails
Cheers

Thanks Alex. You've helped solve my problem. I'll try both ways and then pick one method. Hopefully no more muddy shots in the thumbnails

Hi Both,
I usually use the Photo/Ediit In Photoshop option.
I've just had a look at the Export command (I've not used this before), and can see there's an option to save as a PSD file and then AdobeRGB (1998).
Is this the option that i should use? Thanks so much for your help.

Aha Alex...yes, that makes sense. I have seen messages about colour space. I'm new to LR and Photoshop CC and have ignored the messages (doh!!).
Thanks so much for this, I'll take action next time I process a shot.
Cheers

I've noticed recently that my images don't look right when viewed as a thumbnail in the galleries and also in my PF.
The thumbnails look flat and lack colour and contrast but when the images are viewed at full size they're quite ok.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I've just uploaded an image of a poppy which looks awful in the thumbnails but is fine when viewed properly.
I'd be grateful for any advice
Cheers

I bought a Sun Sniper strap from the Photography Show a couple of years ago
http://www.sun-sniper.com/en/
It cost about £45 but I've not used it yet as I'm nervous that my camera will not be secure hanging from it. The strap screws into the tripod socket on the bottom of my camera, and I'm worried that the camera might work itself loose and fall off.
Has anyone used this type of strap? Are they safe to use?
I'm going to Rome next week and was thinking of giving the strap a whirl to make it easier to carry around.
