![]() As it happens I am only interested in using Costco for larger prints so I think this might work well if I can get the correct workflow. Thank you, that's very useful information. Hopefully (1) I'm at least roughly correct and (2) it makes sense to you. If you're printing to a less color-sophisticated printer, but can get good information on the printer's capabilities and assumptions (like Dry Creek profiles for Frontiers), you can largely do the work on your end to get the best practicable prints. And generally that assumption is something close to sRGB. On the other hand, if, say, a lab's printer-by its own limitations or by the way it is configured-just assumes that when it gets told a pixel's R, G, B values are 102, 153, 17 a certain shade of 'puke green' is desired-without references to the ways different color spaces map values to colors-the color accuracy of the print depends on how closely the picture's color space matches the printers assumption. ![]() The color space says, 'This is the color this picture is trying to represent, please render it for me.' The device profile says, 'This is the range of color I can display and what you need to tell me to get a color in that range, what do you want?' In more sophisticated systems they can be made to play together fairly well. So getting color as accurate as possible requires software and/or hardware to speak to each other in a language they can mutually understand. Getting good results depends in part on knowing the printer's limitations and, equally important, what input you give the printer to get some specific output within the range of what it can print. There are colors our monitors cannot display, there are colors that any given printer-paper combination cannot print, etc. Īnother type is device profiles, which describe what color outputs will be produced by a given device with any thing associated, such as a monitor, an inkjet printer with a specific paper, or an RA-4 printer with a specific paper and specific chemistry. The models for using those numbers to describe colors are a lot more complicated than that. You might think, 'Simple! R, G, B values of 0, 0, 0 makes black, 255, 255, 255 makes white, 255, 255, 0 makes full yellow, etc.' Except no. One type is color spaces-such as sRGB, Adobe RGB, and ProPhoto RGB-which specify how numbers are used to correspond to color. However, it appears to me that you may be confusing two different types of things. I am not an expert on color management, so let's put that out first. This runs counter to everything I've ever read or done, but Dry Creek knows what they're talking about. ![]() " Furthermore, "embedding the profile in the image is optional. I was very surprised to read that Dry Creek recommends converting the image's profile to the printer profile along with the appropriate rendering intent rather than to sRGB before sending it to the lab because "Frontier and Noritsu printers do not read embedded profiles, so the image data must be converted. Also, while I'm not sure about the gamut of the dry-process Frontier printers, I would not expect a wet-process Frontier to be able to print most of the extra gamut that Adobe RGB gives you over sRGB. I would not expect them to correctly print a file sent in Adobe RGB. Do not expect the same type of results you get with their larger prints. Although processes differ by location-and IIRC Fuji sticks the "Frontier" label on both wet-process (RA-4) and dry process printers-they will not be similar to the larger prints. Smaller prints are not the same inkjet prints. That is the process where IIRC you can send Costco an Adobe RGB file and expect them to handle it properly. ![]() By larger I think it is either 11x14 inches or 16x20 inches and larger. But understand that Costco typically has two very different sorts of printing, depending on the size of the prints.Ĭostco printers larger prints on professional photo inkjet printers. I have looked into Costco printing because it gets many good reviews, and my wife is a constant Costco shopper. And are the files you send them sRGB or Adobe RGB files? I see that Dry Creek has profiled the Fuji Frontier printer at a Costco near me so that is definitely an option. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1999 he starred in Rocky Marciano, based on the life of the only undefeated world heavyweight champion in the world. He rejoined Piven in 1998 as part of Very Bad Things (1998). In 1997 he appeared on the popular TV sitcom Friends portraying Pete Becker, whom Monica dates for several episodes, and who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he made his breakthrough in 1996 as an actor-screenwriter with the film Swingers, which was Vaughn's breakthrough role as the glib and extremely confident Trent Walker, a perfect foil to Favreau's heartbroken Mike Peters. The next year, he appeared in the college film PCU alongside Jeremy Piven, and also stepped into the world of television in the 1994 episode of Seinfeld titled "The Fire" as Eric the Clown. Favreau met Vince Vaughn-who also played a small role in this film-during shooting. While in Chicago, Favreau landed his first film role alongside Sean Astin as the pudgy tutor D-Bob in the classic sleeper hit Rudy (1993). He performed at several Chicago improvisational theaters, including the ImprovOlympic and the Improv Institute. ![]() He dropped out of college for good (a few credits shy of completing his degree), and in the summer of 1988, moved to Chicago to pursue a career in comedy.

Setting powders set your makeup and add an almost extra layer of stay-proof action to it while translucent powders work to make the existing product look smoother and more blended, explains Scibelli. “Some brands even offer hydrating properties in their powders and contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid for dry skin types."

Neil Scibelli is a New York City–based celebrity makeup artist and beauty expert.Manuel Espinoza is a makeup artist and a StyleSeat Pro based in Los Angeles with over a decade of experience in the industry.After considering dozens of different brands, and consulting with celebrity makeup artists, we landed on the following best in show. We also gave preference to formulas that are talc-free and dermatologist tested. We looked at both loose and pressed formulas, and considered powders for all skin tones and types-we even looked for formulas that won't show up with flash photography. We conducted hours of research on the best translucent powders, evaluating each type on consistency, finish, and ability to conceal imperfections, minimize pores and shine. The latest translucent powders on the market are more advanced than ever, truly an important product in your complexion-enhancing arsenal. If the mere mention of any kind of powder conjures images of chalky, dry skin for you, fear not. “Translucent powders are beneficial for all makeup wearers for three reasons: helping to set your makeup for extended wear as well as blurring fine lines and minor blemishes to create a silky smooth skin finish,” says makeup artist and StyleSeat Pro Manuel Espinoza.

If you realistically expect to work at a temporary location for one year or less, and the expectation changes so that at some point you realistically expect to work there for more than one year, travel expenses become nondeductible when your expectation changes. Also, you may not deduct travel expenses at a work location if you realistically expect that you'll work there for more than one year, whether or not you actually work there that long. Any work assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite. However, you can't deduct travel expenses paid in connection with an indefinite work assignment. You can deduct travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary work assignment away from home. However, the most important consideration is the length of time you spend at each location. In determining your main place of business, take into account the length of time you normally need to spend at each location for business purposes, the degree of business activity in each area, and the relative significance of the financial return from each area. If you regularly work in more than one place, your tax home is the general area where your main place of business or work is located. Your travel on weekends to your family home in Chicago isn't for your work, so these expenses are also not deductible. You may not deduct any of your travel, meals or lodging in Milwaukee because that's your tax home. For example, you live with your family in Chicago but work in Milwaukee where you stay in a hotel and eat in restaurants. Generally, your tax home is the entire city or general area where your main place of business or work is located, regardless of where you maintain your family home. You're traveling away from home if your duties require you to be away from the general area of your tax home for a period substantially longer than an ordinary day's work, and you need to get sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away. You can't deduct expenses that are lavish or extravagant, or that are for personal purposes. Travel expenses are the ordinary and necessary expenses of traveling away from home for your business, profession, or job. ![]() |
