I use the current lug print exchange as a way to force myself to do  
wet darkroom work. So this wouldn't be of interest to me. Though  
considering how many are doing ink-jet prints, it wouldn't be a bad  
idea if the group migrated to this format.

Brian I do understand your point. Personally I have to hand more than  
a dozen beautiful prints that I have made from files swapped
with me by several talented LUG photographers. I have a least six  
more which I haven't managed to get to make prints from as yet,
but the authors have their choices from my pictures on their  
computers and they also can print at their leisure. We are all
satisfied that our LUG friends will not redistribute the files. That  
is purely on trust of course.

The advantages to my mind, are flexibility, cost and speed of swaps  
(independent of international postal vagaries). The files
swapped are much superior to lower resolution files suitable for on  
screen only.  4MB or so JPGS are perfectly suitable for the
letter/A4 prints contemplated. Members can choose whichever printing  
method and materials suit them.

Disadvantages are that you don't get nice prints in your hands made  
by the original owners, maybe with a signature and notes. You
are offering a file which is then out of your control for future  
printing or manipulation by anyone who has a copy. You really need
a shared gallery, which I think that you have agreed is possible.
We shall have to see what the group consensus is, which I am pursuing  
off-list.

Cheers

I see no point in a virtual print exchange. But that's just me.
