Presumptuous is a good word. And so what if someone trashes them? That
accomplishes the same goal as sending it back, which is depriving the
"customer" of their use. They are certainly of no use to the
photographer.
Besides, I thought the "product" being sold included the skill of the
photographer in adjusting color and cropping the raw photo (isn't that
why it is called a "proof?").
Robert Harrington sent me a few proofs with an order form for various
enlargements, etc. His instructions were to keep them with his
compliments even if I wasn't interested in ordering prints. I ended up
ordering some Christmas cards. It was obvious that he had spent some
time making sure they looked right when comparing it to the proof. I
received quite a number of compliments on them.
