So I
have a
choice
of 3
different
digital
print
services.
How do I
decide
which
service
is right
for me?
|
The
Frontier
Prints
Discount
output
service
is for
Photographers
who are
sophisticated
enough
to
effect
color
management
themselves.
These
photographers
own a
monitor
spyder
and
calibrate
their
monitors
at least
once a
month.
This
service
is also
good for
individuals
with
prepped
head
shots
and need
large
quantities
of
prints.
For
those of
you
with a
large
quantity
of
digital
files
and just
want a
hard
copy,
this is
your
least
expensive
choice.
|
The
Economy
Print
Service
is
for our
clients
who have
minimal
color
management
skills.
These
clients
have
color
balanced
their
files
using a
calibrated
home
computer
system
and
just
need
their
output
monitored
for
density
or might
need
minor
global
color
tweaks.
This
service
only
offers
global
color
and
density
corrections.
|
The
Color
Managed
Print
Service
is
our all
inclusive
print
service.
This
service
includes
all of
the
following:
All
files
are
optimized
in
Photoshop
for
Color,
Contrast,
and
Saturation
for the best quality print that can be achieved from your digital file.
Extremely
light retouch like removing a
blemish, red eye reduction or even
adding a line or 2 of text is included in this service. Conversion from
Color to B&W or Sepia tone is also included.
Retouch
and
cropping requests
should be made when you are placing your order.
|
Below is
an
example
of the
improvements
that the
color
managed
print
service
can
make to
your
files.
The file
I used
for this
example
was shot
my Nikon
point
and
shoot
using
its
built in
flash. I
felt it
would
make a
good
example
of
how some
simple
adjustments
using
photoshop
can
drastically
improve
your
files
and your
ouput.
