Experience
matters...
Skill
with digital imaging can make the difference between excellence
and mere mediocrity with a Giclée print.
While expertise in other steps in the process is
key, here's the number one question
to ask your provider:
"How
long have you been working professionally with color correction
using PhotoShop?"
If
the answer is anything less than 3 years, ask the same question
of another provider.
The
reason: Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard for professional
image editing. It's the software application that best interfaces
with digital image editing computers, high-resolution scanners,
digital cameras and professional quality large format printers.
And while talent does matter in areas like retouching, there
simply are no short-cuts to true mastery of digital color
correction theory and integration with the printing process.
Our
master printer at ArtSource has been using Adobe Photoshop
digital imaging and color correction tools since it's first
beta version release in the 1980s. She is also skilled in
UNIX, SUNSPARC, Windows-based and Macintosh-based systems,
high-resolution scanning, photography, graphic design, RIP
software management and custom profiling for ink-jet printers
of all makes and kinds.
