Using digital images from your camera or computer you can produce the most wonderful images when printed digitally onto photographic paper. The result is high contrast combined with colour vibrance which makes the image you choose on paper stand out in any environment. Here are just a few of the tips to get the most out of your image:-
1.
Set your camera to the maximum resolution provided (check manufacturer’s handbook for help).
2.
The camera’s digital file compression should be placed on a setting where the image is compressed to the smallest file size. This will help when transferring your image to our server. (Check camera handbook).
3.
Do not adjust your image using software such as Photoshop, Coral Photo Paint or any other editing package unless you are sure that your monitor and colour preferences are set to print under the C,M,Y,K print environment.
When editing in these packages you must then save your file to C,M,Y,K colour preferences and also into the Jpeg file format when saving.
4.
Simply press "browse or choose" to select your image. Once you have chosen your image press "next" and your image will then appear in the required paper size template.
Don’t be worried about the resolution of your image being too low, take a look at our guides for information on what you require for maximum print quality.
