I sometimes do 32-bit exr for finals, or at least 16-bit tif. And I don't have a calibrated monitor, but it's an eizo flexscan (S2431W), which is supposed to be good by itself. I found that with some printers the result is matching very well with what I see, so I thought it to be okay, but other printers print my work too dark. I suppose it's their fault, but every time something like that happens, I doubt my delivery.
I know from one occasion that the printer forgot to use an icc profile, and in a second edition they did and it looked much better. Anyway, I often remind my clients to not print it too dark, so they can think for themselves and take steps if needed. I also ask for a pdf of a page or cover or so, to check if it looks 'kind of' okay. Like this one...
Thanks Oshyan, I'll keep that in mind.
Here's an iteration with exposure set to 1.5. Low cloud without shadows. DOF by depth pass.
