Interesting idea Paul. I have a few thoughts and see several obstacles implementing it: Who gets what print? If we all send prints to one location then who distributes them and how does he get compensated for doing so? (Maybe we send in our print plus 10 bucks to cover shipping out to the recipient...I wouldn't be against this) How do we know what's available? (Someone would have to create a website to display the available prints...or could JPGs be displayed in the Files area?) On another note, I'm very interested to see you're using the same printer/ink combination that I am. I've created a few curves for the papers I like to use, and if you or anyone else who uses R1800/3MK has created their own curves then I'd be very interested in swapping them. I suppose this would simply mean making a greater effort to uploading the curves to the files section. Ken --- p_bien <p_bien@...> wrote: > Anyone interested in participating in a photo > exchange?
