Picking the only decent one I shot and adding two more to make up the numbers.... Seriously, I look at the images I've had printed during the year and discard from the candidates those which have proved difficult to make a successful transition from screen to paper. Going back to my experience with my Blurb book, and given that the PDML book will be printed by Blurb, I'm wondering whether it would have been worthwhile soft proofing the candidates with the Blurb ICC profile.
