Why a Restored Photo May Need Separate Screen and Print Exports
By ImgHeal · Updated
Judge each output at its actual dimensions and viewing conditions.
Keep a common master
Start both exports from the accepted high-quality edit. Record the destination dimensions and format requirements separately. A small web copy and a large print file should not be produced by repeatedly resizing one another.
Review sharpening after sizing
Inspect the final-sized output for halos, brittle hair, and exaggerated grain. A treatment that looks crisp in one export can look harsh in another. Make modest adjustments on derivatives instead of permanently sharpening the master to suit a single destination.
Verify each destination
Open the web export where it will be displayed and proof the print export when practical. Record the accepted settings with each delivery version. Keep the original source accessible so apparent sharpness never replaces identity review or documentary comparison.
Check before you finish
- Create both outputs from the master.
- Judge sharpening after final resizing.
