How To Prepare Your Images For Print

As retouchers, we enhance, polish, and perfect images in order to create a beautiful final result. Part of our role is to ensure that wherever the images are displayed, they are shown in the best light. Our laser-focused attention to detail should not stop once the image is retouched, but should continue through the printing stage when our work is meant for print.

That extra step can mean the difference between seeing your work exactly how you meant for it to appear in print, or to see it with muddled, inaccurate colors, lacking in contrast, and in clarity. Any of those will result in an unhappy client, or degrade the quality of your hard work.
