As more photographers work in digital formats, I've seen a rise in giclee photographic prints offered for exhibition and acquisition. My question for the group: does this medium adversely affect your decision when considering a piece for your museum? Why or why not?

Hi Kimberly, would you be more specific describing what you mean by Giclee Photographic Print?  It sounds like a digitized image of an existing printed photograph, but you may be also be considering a photographer's original digital image.  It's an interesting question.

Thanks for reaching out Charmaine. I'd be curious to know what people think of both types. Is this something you run into often?
