If you have your own digital image file, we can
use it to create your final Giclee. It needs to have a resolution of
between 240-360 dpi and should match the overall output size that you will be
requesting for printing.
For example if you want a 17 x 22 inch print,
your image should be in the range of 5000 x 6600 pixels. We can accept most
image types but prefer TIFF, PSD or other loss less file types. If your
original image file is smaller than your requested print size, please do not
perform the interpolation before sending to us. We have software that will
perform the re-size interpolation with no image degradation/pixelation providing
the resizing is within 800% of the original. While we do accept images
that are smaller than the final output size, the client needs to be aware than
the print will be of a lesser quality than what we can produce using our in
house image captures.
No additional color correction will be
performed on the image(s). Color correction to printer and paper will be
matched based on embedded color profile. (i.e. They will be printed as is.) If
you are assigning a color profile with the image please use Adobe RGB (1998).
Do not use sRGB as it has a smaller color gamut.
