RAW File Processing
The RAW file format preferred by today's professional photographers is almost infinitely flexible: unlike compressed JPEG files, RAW offers the full range of capture information available from your camera's sensor, and the resulting images can then be custom-adjusted after shooting for your ideal color balance, contrast, saturation, and more. The downside is that this processing step takes time.
Our RAW file processing services offer you the freedom to concentrate on creating images while we handle the finicky task of converting and optimizing your files for the highest quality results.
Processed RAW files can be delivered as TIFFs or JPEGs, and files burned to CD, DVD, Client hard drive, or uploaded to your FTP server.
Custom Testing
For processing large batches, we recommend a testing stage for highest quality results. Representative test images from your shoot are chosen and processed to meet your preferences. These files are then used as matching guides to process the rest of your shoot.
The number of test samples recommended before batch processing varies by the size of shoot. Clients may choose specific images for this testing stage, or leave all the decisions up to us.

Digital Proof Sheets
If you're working with multiple images, a digital proof sheet is a great way to preview and share your files. We offer digital proof sheets up to 16" x 20", with the individual images sized as you like.
When ordering, please let us know how many images you would like per page, and if you want your vertical or horizontal images rotated for consistent viewing, or if you'd rather keep the file orientation as shot (without rotation).
Custom Text
Digital Proof Sheets can include custom text headers or graphics such as logos, copyrights, or watermarks. Files can also be renamed as per your instructions. Please specify any text changes or graphics you wish to include when ordering.
