Native American Totem display: final print image
This is the final image, ready for print. I lightened it a bit and sharpened it for output. It is quite a bit different from the original capture. It is probably a good thing that the Canon G9 saves in RAW format. I don't think this would have turned out so well had I started with a .jpg. Especially enlarged to 13" x 19".
