Editing and Color Matching
  • Editing includes removing or adding objects, people, editing faces (eyes, smiles, etc.), changing backgrounds and foregrounds, color adjustments, merging images, cropping, sharpening, basic color enhancements – vibrancy, toning, etc.
  • Color matching an image to an original piece of artwork.
    • Color matching can take a lot of time, paper, and ink to get the print to look like an original. The color of the light also plays a role in how colors are seen. My studio lights are set at 5800K (kelvin) or average daylight. You will see prints look different when compared between warm tungsten and cool fluorescent lights. The average midday sunlight is between 5000K-6000K.
    • Note: artwork mediums and papers are different than ink and printer paper/canvas and sometimes difficult to obtain a very good color match.
    • Vibrant colors from a painting are not possible when printing on matte papers/canvas. The glossier the paper the more vibrant the colors can become on a print.
    • The color tone of the paper and lights used to view the print will influence the finished result.
    • Color match is performed on a matching paper type to the original or selected by customer.
  • Pricing
    • $20.00 an hour editing/color matching per image
    • Color Matching – indicate a maximum – (Color matching will stop either when the maximum selected is reached or a particularly good color match is achieved)

    Example of price calculations 

    Examples:

    • Printable image 18” x 24” = 432 square inches on paper or canvas.
    • Gallery wrap canvas adds a minimum of 2 inches of printing per side for the edges. An 18” x 24” gallery wrap image would be (18 + 4) 22” x (24 + 4) 28” = 616.

    Printing the 18” x 24” image:

    • Poster Paper: 432 x 0.04 = $17.28 - includes a 1" white border for mounting. (poster/bond paper is not fine are paper)
    • Fine Art Paper: 432 x 0.07 = $30.24 - includes a 1" white border for mounting.
    • Standard Canvas: 432 x 0.08 = $34.56
    • Gallery Wrap Canvas: 616 x 0.08 = $49.28
    • Standard Wrap Canvas:
      • Printing: $34.56
      • Plus stretching the canvas on standard stretcher bars (18 * 2) + (24 * 2) = 84” * 0.15 = $12.60.
      • Total standard stretched canvas = $47.16
    • Gallery Wrap Canvas:
      • Printing: $49.28
      • Plus stretching the canvas on gallery wrap stretcher bars (18 * 2) + (24 * 2) = 84” * 0.22 = $18.48.
