Capturing a scene with balanced exposure, vibrant colors, details and depth can take a lot of time and effort. That's why the best pictures shouldn't gather dust on a hard disk or in a digital archive, but should shine in all their glory: Printed.

In the previous chapter, we have already explained what you should pay attention to when preparing for printing. This article from WhiteWall should now help you to get an overview of the various file formats and export options. And to understand when you should use which format - and why others are rather unsuitable for printing.

You've learned how to use your camera, you've gone looking for subjects and you've edited your pictures. Now comes the most beautiful moment: after all the work, which has undoubtedly been a lot of fun, it's time to save the finished picture. A process comes to an end. But what happens to the work? Should it gather digital dust on the hard disk? No, you've put too much effort into it for that. So the decision to share the work with the world has been made. Here you can find out what presentation options are available, what steps you should take when exhibiting your pictures and what you need to pay attention to.

Professional photographers used their contacts and had to go to great lengths to publish their work in magazines or present their work in exhibitions. This was almost unattainable for amateurs. With the Internet and the success of corresponding platforms, the whole world became a stage overnight. Whether regional, national or international, photographers can now easily share, present - and market - their images. So on the one hand, it has become much easier to show your pictures to the world, but on the other hand, it has become much more difficult to be seen and noticed by the masses.
