[QUOTE="johngimpelcdt, post: 9310, member: 207"] Hi Carol, Digital photos are simply a guide for you, not for choosing a shade because the camera, monitor and printer will not produce 100% accuracy. The value in digital photos is that regardless of accuracy of color, you will see the subtle differences when compared to the shade tab. If the dentist chooses A3, you can decipher chroma & value of the teeth compared to the shade tab. The photo also shows you where nuances in characteristics are located, and their intensity. Having said this, receiving digital photos is fantastic, but the shade tab must be included in the image, at the same level/plane. AS far as software, I use Photo Impact, which is similar to Photo Shop. As long as images are saved non-specific to their respective software, you can use either. Typical file formats for sending images is .JPG (jpeg). They can be reduced in file size for email/posting purposes. RAW formats are typically required by journals and thier file size is huge. Hope this helps. John [/QUOTE]
