PREPARING PHOTOS AND DIGITAL FILES FOR GICLEE PRINTING
You can prepare your images before you send them. It's easy - anyone with a basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop will be able to follow along. NOTE: You don't have to have Adobe Photoshop. Simply send us your DIGITAL images with a description of what you require. NOT A DIGITAL IMAGE? WHAT IS YOUR PHOTO? SHOW ME HOW?! (IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP) 01. Cropping and resizing images for canvas printing. 02. Setting the image colour profile and saving as TIFF format. Blemishes and minor retouching work can be undertaken for an additional charge ($30.00 per half hour). Any altered images can be saved on a CD for future re-orders. Our computer monitors and printers have been calibrated and profiled for colour matching. It is recommended that you include a proof (e.g. a small photo paper print) to help us with colour matching.

How do I prepare and send image files? We accept Photoshop native files (PSD), TIFF, and JPEGs. When saving TIFFs please select 'LZW' file compression. When sending JPEGs, please use the high quality (i.e. '12', maximum quality setting) option to avoid compression problems. Digital file resolution for digital giclee inkjet printing is dependent on the final size of the print. We ask that you supply files at 240 dpi. For example a 20" x 30" file should be resized to 20" x 30" at 240 dpi. We realize that many digital cameras do not have the initial resolution to print large sizes at 240 dpi. We have interpolation scripts that can in most cases enlarge to the necessary dimensions. To maximise the colour and vibrancy of your colour canvas prints, we recommend working in the Adobe RGB (1998) colour space. This colour space ensures more vibrant prints for images containing bright colours. Do not convert your RGB files to CMYK! Black and white images can be sent in greyscale format. This will save you some file size and we can 'warm' or 'cool' the print to suit your needs or to match any proofs that you might want to provide.
