Hi Michael  – Thanks for all your input. I have a whole series of work photographed professionally and I work with a printer already on those. He is happy to work with me to alter colours on initial print but otherwise they are print-ready, so maybe that would cover the calibration issues(?).  Re the work I need photo’d now – I always photographed my portraits myself as they are smaller and flatly painted and using natural light to do this has worked well so far.  A few people had asked for prints and I was considering sorting this out – they wouldn’t be large so my photos may actually be ok for A4, but after listening to Crista’s talk on the the Working Artist kit I thought now was the time to get the portrait paintings (or at least those I still have access to), photographed to the same level as the others (300 dpi tiffs). So in short – I am doing it for the working artist kit and to get good A4 prints of them at the moment but with the view of being able to take good shots of newer work should I go larger on that! I have to go one step at a time though – partly due to budget and partly due to being so overwhelmed by technical stuff that I end up retreating! ( I sometimes imagine I am living in a different century to give my head some peace!! – I realise from your work – which is great by the way – that you are probably not of the same ilk!!)  I would prefer to pay someone to do it again, but not within my budget right now and maybe it will serve me well in the future to sort it myself.

Thank you, Beverley
