You should consider that each person has their own perception and their own subjective opinion
about the result; this is because there are various factors that can influence our opinions, such as the
type of photo (portrait, landscape…), the source color space, the media used, the environmental
conditions, the subjective perception about your own photo, etc.... This means the printing suggestion
may not completely match with your own personal opinion.
