I have been getting very good prints - especially 12x18, 16x20 and 20x30 at Costco thanks to this forum's advice. From here I learned about monitor calibration (Colormunki) and embedding Costco printer profiles (Dry Creek Photo).
The tech at the Costco indicated that I will see no noticeable between uploading a honking-huge TIFF file versus a maximum-sized, maximum-quality JPEG, with the embedded printer profiles and auto correction turned OFF.
First question - is the tech correct? JPEG just as good as a TIFF. (I want to make really nice enlargements for friends (farm and ranch scenes) but I'm not selling fine art or portraits or weddings. Actually I don't sell anything.
Secondly, if a max-max JPEG will do me well, is it better to "Export" or use the "Print Module."
Many thanks - as always.
(My copy of "Lightroom CC - The Missing FAQ, pages 423 - 430 did not help me with this question. Maybe I missed it.)
