Technical Details


Image Resolution and File Format
Source image resolution is 3076 x 2052 pixels resulting in an 18MByte TIFF format image. The width / height of the final images may be less than the maximum due to cropping. By default final delivery is in TIFF (.tif). Alternative file formats can be supplied on request including: Photoshop (.psd), Windows (.bmp), Macintosh PICT (.pct), PaintShopPro (.psp) and many others. Images can then be optimised for their intended purpose, either reduced and compressed for websites or processed for use in print publications and promotional materials.
Proofs
Draft images are supplied as watermarked proofs via a private internet page. The images are 1/4 resolution jpegs (768 x 512 pixels approximately 100 KB per image) indexed via thumbnails. Click on the image below to see an example proof page for client feedback prior to post processing. Click on a thumbnail to load the 1/4 size proof.		One of the client's final images is show above at 1/6th resolution seen as a 1/4 size draft on the proof pages.
Inclusive Basic Post Processing
Basic post processing includes Chromatic subject isolation, resizing, sharpening and image file format conversion.

	Chromatic Subject Isolation On request dpi will ensure that the subject of the imaging is isolated by a specific colour (usually black or white) so the edges of the image are not visible when it is surround by that colour.
	Sharpening Sharpening is a standard aspect of digital image post processing. Our Digital SLR imaging technology applies a minimum of in-camera sharpening. This allows dpi or the client maximum control over the degree of sharpening which depends upon the intended use and the subject. By default images destined to be used on websites will be sharpened for optimum display on monitors. For print applications the requirements of the client's printer or graphical designer.
	Colour A digital image is simply a list of numbers, how these are translated into colour is carefully controlled. Care is taken to ensure correct colour cast and accurate representation. By default the image will be represented in the range of colours provided by sRGB colour space. On request dpi will work in extended AdobeRGB colour space and tag images with this profile.

Optional Post Processing

A wide variety of optional post processing can be performed at competitive rates.
