Hi Guys!

I'm looking at the chance to get LR4 - but I have 1 question (at the moment).

Would I need anything else inaddition to LR4 to turn my digital pics into hard copies of my photo's? - If so what?

Cheers! in advance of help! :t:

no LR does "it all"

- you can print and (publish) from LR4 as well as (non destructive) editing of your original images

Adobe has quite a few free tutorials on their site

(note - LR4 is getting quite a lot of "bad press" because for many users it is slower than LR3 as well as using more resources)

Software wise no. Folk on here will rave about a particular RAW converter or noise reduction program that they use in addition to Lightroom, but unless you plan on creating montage images or using Photoshop trickery to remove extraneous brambles then Lightroom is all you need.

You will of course need a printer!
 
You will of course need a printer! - But what if I don't want to print myself but want to get say "Boots" etc to print them?
 
Hi Des

You just save the image file to a memory card or some other form of memory device and take it in..., i don't know what files they can detect, certainly Jpeg but im not too sure about Tiff and im 100% sure they can't use raw files.

All high street photo printers will want Jpegs and with sRGB colour. You will be able to find online printers that will take wider colorspaces such as AdobeRGB, but they will still what Jpegs. With the rise of megapixels very few folk take the trad CMYK Tiffs of days gone by.
 
THANKS!

Thanks for your thoughts & suggestions!

I will keep an eye on the adobeforums.

Cheers! B :)
