Selecting a photo to print can be a challenge. We see what we intended for all our photos and tend to look past their flaws.

Printing in the darkroom has a lot of added complexity as different papers and paper developers deliver different image results, just like different film stocks and film developers. A negative that looks great on one paper may be terrible on another. A negative that doesn't look like a good image could turn out to be stunning on the right paper and in the right developer.

Digitally, the process involves editing and performing extensive image triage. This video provides tips on how to cull and select images.
