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.
Photography
One advantage of photography over illustration is
believability. Like illustration, photography can
be individual in style. design42

your website colors and style...>
Photo
& Illustration Resources
Sometimes it is not necessary to create original illustrations
or photography. Royalty-free photos and illustrations
are available for nearly any need. Image banks are
often more cost effective than commissioning original
illustration or taking and correcting original photos...>
