Photo Scanning, Correction, Optimization

Photo Optimization doesn't mean you have to give up quality. In fact, in many cases, optimizing your photo includes improving the photo. design42 can correct any defects, either in the photo or the subject and then optimize to speed download.

Current internet technology places certain limits on the use of photography. Things have to look good at a much lower resolution than print photography.

While print can use resolutions up to 1200 dot per inch, computer monitors have only 72 dots per inch. Combine this with restrictions of working within the speed information can be moved from one part of the Internet to another, you need a design partner that knows how to make the most of your photography.

Although things are changing fast, unless you have a product that only has appeal to those with fast internet connections and you have no interest in the potential customer working on his laptop at home or browsing on his phone, you want to have a low file size on you photos and graphics. Some small photos still have a large file size and take more time to be visible than they should.

Your photos need to be optimized to load quickly. Your visitors do not want to wait for photos with large file size.

In many cases, optimizing improves the photo. Unnecessary elements may be cropped away and "noise" or other unnecessary information filtered out. Each photo is then adapted, optimized and exported in the correct file format.

Scanning Services

If your photos do not exist in a digital format already, design42 can scan them for you. We can deliver them to you on a CD, upload them to the internet for you to download or use them on your website. Your original photos are returned.

Photo Correction

Usually photos can benefit from some image correction. We can easily remove dark circles, blemishes or unwanted element. We can do brightness and color correction and edit hue and saturation for correction or consistency.

The photography for your on-line catalog should make each product clear. Often it is best to silhouette the product, remove the background. You may need to correct the colors so that they match the actual product as closely as possible.

It is often important to cut-out or silhouette a product, taking an object from a photo and removing the background.

design42 can correct any defects, either in the photo or the subject and then optimize to speed download.
