Following is information about setting up files
and providing transparencies for scanning.

Transparencies & Originals

Please provide good quality 8" x 10", 4" x 5" and 35mm transparencies. Positive is best and the bigger the better. If a transparency is not available, a copy shot can be made from your original artwork. Original line, gray scale and color artworks can be scanned up to 11.5 "x 17.5".

Image Editing

Images needing repairs, alterations such as removing signatures or unwanted elements in older artworks or photographs, and creative concepts are welcome. Resizing, cropping for derivative editioning, layout and design work, marketing sheets and other services are available. Please call to discuss your projects.

Setting up files for output

Formats: Mac or Windows

Media: Mac, PC - CD's or ZIP 100's

Colorspace: Adobe 1998 works great for initial soft proofing and should be embedded in the files.

Resolution: 300, 200, or 150dpi @ 100% of final output size

Using profile to profile conversions to get from a special user colorspace to Adobe 1998 will provide very good results. Remember to change your settings in RGB setup to reflect the correct colorspace. This will allow you to more accurately review the file for adjustments before proofing (this is a good starting point for client tests for output.) In Photoshop 6 you can preview using custom profiles and also embed the profile when saving.
