​Guidelines: Uploading Image Files FOR PRINTING

  • Do whatever creative work you wish to the image before uploading, such as levels, tone curves, saturation and cropping but please do not re-size your images. 
  • Upload the image file at the original resolution/size as captured by your camera, which doesn't mean that you shouldn't crop it, just don't enlarge or downsize it. In the case of digital art that's the original size as created on your computer. Beware of software that automatically downsizes files for emailing etc., which includes converting from 16 bit to 8 bit. If you are unsure compare the size in MB of the one you are sending to the original before you did anything to it.
  • Sharpening and noise reduction should be left to us because it will be applied before and after enlarging in 2 or 3 distinct operations, including the very last one before printing, done to a finely controlled, exact amount which is determined by the unique file image qualities and the degree of enlargement. Each image is individually assessed to determine the correct enlargement settings and method.
  • Preferably upload the file in Tiff format, as a PSD or an uncompressed Jpeg. We also support PDF, and RAW files.  If your file is any other format please convert it to one of these or contact us for advice.
  • Printing and therefore your file(s) must be in an sRGB or Adobe RGB 1998 colorspace*. If the file was converted to grayscale, it must be resaved in RGB. We will do the conversion if a file is received in any other colour space but this may lead to inconsistencies for which we cannot be responsible. (*Adobe RGB 1998 is the larger colorspace and therefore preferred over sRGB for printing. You should always select this option when shooting because you can always convert 'down' to sRGB for online use but you cannot go the other way, i.e. if you shoot in the more limited sRGB colorspace the lost information can't be put back in later.)
  • Aluminum, Acrylic & Stretched Canvas: We need a small bleed on each side (0.1" - 0.2") depending on the size of output. We recommend that you put any important edge detail, signature or text a safe distance from the edge of the print.
