One point that Jeff Schewe makes a couple of times in the video is important. Pictures that may look overprocessed on screen may be just right when printed. In other words, if the final output is a print then you may want to go a few steps further on e.g. contrast, clarity or vibrance than if the picture is intended for screen display. I have heard the same message from professional printers.

He also says that he relies on soft proofing for judging print results, and that’s a WYSIWYG process, not one where one needs to guess or estimate some amount of over-processing. One reason I like ImagePrint, in conjunction with LR, is that its soft proofing is superior to LR’s, and operates full time.  Saves time and paper.
