Standard Retouching

In the days of film cameras, the negatives

had to be developed in the darkroom.

Locked away for hours, the photographer

would control the final image using different developing techniques. We do the same

thing today but digitally, using computer

image editing software.

We shoot in RAW format because it gives

us complete control over the final image.

The RAW files are our negatives and with

these large files we can creatively control various elements of the image, allowing us

to bring out the best of your photos.

Most images will look OK straight out of the

camera when viewed on a computer screen.

But if you’re planning on having prints made

or you just want that extra sparkle from your images, we strongly suggest getting us

to process your favourite shots for you.

When you hire us for a shoot, versions

of all the RAW files will be uploaded to a

password protected online gallery for you

to view and select your favourite shots.

Every selected image will go through the

same standard editing procedure individually.

Exposure and white balance will be adjusted, the contrast of the image and the colour saturation as a whole is also evaluated and enhanced to bring out the details and information in the shaded areas. Sharpening

is applied to the photo in the areas of interest.

We also add vignettes to some images to highlight elements and to draw the eye in

to the main focus of the image. Finally the image will be cropped for the desired print

size if required. For those things not seen

or couldn’t avoid at the time, some basic retouching may be done to eliminate things

that we think distract from the image.
