Print or Digital? Which one should I choose? In many ways, the answer depends on what you want to do with your image and how much the image means to you personally.
Prints should be chosen if you want a permanent memory of the image. A print can never be destroyed in a pc crash or lost when a disc degrades over time. There is nothing like holding a beautiful print in your hand, especially an enlargement. They can be displayed anywhere you frequent, taken along to share with friends and family without any kind of electronic equipment, and will last forever with proper care. How many of you have photos from your childhood or earlier? A print can be scanned and then emailed to friends or used on a non-profit website. I highly recommend getting a print made for any image that has sentimental meaning to you.
If you only want an image for website use or emailing and do not want a hard copy print, then a small digital image is sufficient. Choose this option if it would not distress you to lose the image and not have a replacement. Single images can be emailed to you, or put on a CD for an additional price. These images are not suitable for printing, and copyright laws prohibit the reproduction of any image without written consent of the creator.
If you would like to use an image for advertising in magazines, or perhaps getting multiple prints made you may want to consider purchasing the full resolution digital image. This image is suitable for printing and the price includes written permission for you to use the image for personal uses such as stud dog promotions or kennel or business advertisements. If an image is to be used on a product for resale the price must be negotiated separately with me.
