A different printing issue

[joelorr Profile]

I loaded an image and applied an effect. Printed it; it came out very fuzzy. When I looked at it on the screen, it was clear; after printing, the screen image was fuzzy like the printing.

Went back and started over. Output a jpg, then a tiff. Same result: First they were clear, then they turned fuzzy.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you output the jpg and tiff, then print them independently of SPE?

[joelorr Profile]

Yes, after trying to print from SPE. Same issue.

Could you post the saved output here so we can take a look?

Whoops! Tried to upload--and learned max size is 2 Mb. My original is 50 Mb; the spe output is 13. Any recommendations?

Good idea, Bearach.

Your original is a .dng file, I thought those weren't supported? [edit: I see .dng is supported]
But I was able to open it, modify it, and save it as a .jpg (10MB, similar to your edited image).

What exact effects did you use on it?

I used an effect called "Dry brush oils." I had similarly fuzzy results with the effect called "Watercolor vectors."
