Re: My first prints from my GH5 are a disaster! Where am I going wrong?

I'm having some problems uploading the images and it getting late. So I will give this a miss for now however I think I cracked it.

I been looking at the Export settings and comparing the noise in the pictures and my Goodwood photo book. Some of the noise in the pictures could be be cleaner and this could be part of the problem. However, I thought a 10 megapixel file should be big enough to hide some of the noise for a book roughly 300 x 400mm.

The other problem I need to calibrate the monitor because the pictures on the screen are brighter than the book but it doesn't make a huge difference.

For the image resizing in Lightroom Export. I haven't pressed 'Resize to fit' and left it as default. The only thing that I had changed is the 300 per inch believing the 10 megapixel will have 300ppi and the Jessops program would resize the file. This could be the problem because width and height are each 1000 but they not highlighted.

I thought this could be the problem as I was typing this out so I checked the files. They're big so the pictures aren't less than 1-megapixel files and been blown up.

I will try to upload some images.
