The printer has nothing to do with it. They print what they get. It is the copy
- the digital mastering that determines what is printed these days. A photo is
a representation of the reality it photographs. Whither it is clear or colorful
or has balance is determined by the processing. Yes, digital photos can be and
should be processed to bring out what is most representative of the reality it
photographed. There are a ton of simple and easy photo editing software
available, many are free.
I hate to see pictures presented that are not properly edited. That is not
saying they should be altered for content but they should be processed for
contrast, lighting, gamma, hue and saturation. That is something the editor
should do and maybe is doing, I don't know.
I am not arguing that the Review is good or bad just that I do see some things
that could be better presented. Maybe the editor is expecting the submissions
to be camera ready and just puts up what is sent in. That might be the
disconnect.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: The REVIEW
In all fairness if you go back to the March 2016 issue just was viewing it this
morning you will see the format is the same. The photos are pretty much the
same size the print just slightly smaller but notice the spacing is different
which might be the printing. Printers are suppose to align pages when it goes
to the press machine. Did the GSDCA change printers?

The REVIEW
Got our latest Review the other day.....on time......but I am again
disappointed.
Since forever we have looked forward to getting the Review with anticipation.
The articles and information are
great.....but again, sadly, the size of the pictures is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
for me.
Over the years we go over the Review and savor the photos...then we read the
articles and the information ...but
none of the words are ever committed to memory like the actual pictures of
the dogs!! It is the pictures of these
beautiful dogs that bring us back to the Review over and over until the next
one arrives, as we look at winners, stud
dogs, upcoming stars, check out Breed
improvement, bloodlines, etc.
I am again disappointed about all the white space...the large print in some
places, and the small....SMALL photos!
There are a couple of pages in the
November/December Review where you actually need a magnifying glass to read
the print and see the
dogs.....and much of the pages are white space!
And
THIS latest Review now is our National
Winners and photos in this one! The most important wins of the year for
many, and
for
those of us not there....photos we really look forward to seeing! Or used
to anyway.......
Again...it is the actual photos...the
pictures...the anatomy of the actual dogs that brings us back to the Review
over and over as we research
breedings, bloodlines...breeders...the dogs...the dogs....dogs....it's about
the dogs!
I do not have an Ad...I do not have a
dog in this Review....but if I did....I would be HUGELY disappointed to find
my
dog on a page and see that the
"random" photos ( that are also
cute and fun ) to be much larger than my dog pictured
with his major win, or a Futurity win,
or ANY win!! And
yes.....I will express this opinion to our Editor........
The Review is
great...on time, plenty of articles, quality, etc.......but I see no passion
for the actual dogs!?
