File Preparation
File preparation is essential for assuring a final print is of the highest
quality possible. It is the process of preparing a file for the final print
output, and includes: matching and converting colors from RGB (red, green and
blue) to CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) color mode, fixing dimensions
and adjusting a file to the actual print size desired.
Photocomposition
Photocomposition is the art and science of combining and manipulating images by
adding special optical effects, such as drop shadows, and/or incorporating
color, black or white backgrounds into an image.
Photoretouching
Photoretouching is necessary for producing high-quality prints and involves
digitally restoring, repairing, and retouching an original image. It is the
process of removing imperfections such as scratches and spots, and enhancing
color image contrasts such as highlights and shadows.
Photo Scanning
Photo Scanning is the process of digitally recording information from a
conventional photograph and storing it in a digital picture file. Large-format
prints require an original image to be scanned at a high resolution to assure
that the final print output is clear and not pixelated.
