Ok guys, I'm still a little new to the physical side and getting prints done, but since most people don't have calibrated monitors, stuff that you edit to be printed, do you have a second edit that you use for digital viewing? Or do you not really care as much how it is going to look on non calibrated stuff like phones/laptops/pc's etc for instagram, websites, etc.? And when a client is viewing something digitally that they want printed, how can you ensure they are getting what they see? Or do you think they won't notice a difference? Because sometimes, the difference can be quite a bit. Thanks for the input. [:

take it to a good printer, and give them the color space.

calibrate your monitor and work in sRGB space; you'll be fine in most cases

for calibration it has to adjusted to a SPECIFIC printer, so when you change to CMYK that profile needs to tuned to that printer

if you don't know how to do that >>2869779
is right, they can usually read the metadata and it'll be wysiwyg

You never finish a shoot properly until you see the photos in print. It is just so much different.
