In preparation for an upcoming trip to Yosemite where I hope to capture some large poster-size images that I will have Elco print, I have been testing some different photography techniques. One of which is to bracket raw exposures and then combine the images using Merge to HDR in Photoshop. Does this process ultimately create any printing problems for you or image quality issues for me when the final image is made into a JPG file before transmitting it to you online for printing?

That process you explain above will not create any issues for us, keeping in mind that when you do submit the final file that it is an 8bit per channel RGB file, tif or jpeg. We actually have several local clients that currently do just this and the final file and prints are just outrageous!

Just FYI, I have been using El-Co for printing of my HDR images, on canvas, Art Media, and regular paper, as well as the metallics, and I must say . . .  they do a terrific job!  I always get the the color correction turned off, so no further color adjustment is done at the lab.  That would desaturate the HDR effect.  Any way, the resulting images are sweet!

Good luck with your HDR prints.
