4) You get one A4 and 2 times A5 Prints for free.

5) You get CD

 

How do we differ from your local Shopping- mall Photo Labs ?

In comparison to you will see that my prints are superior because:

(1) Did you know that your average Kodak shopping mall labs to mark up their profit don't use top quality Photo paper..We on the other hand only use 285g top of the range Pearl Luster Photo Paper, Somerset Velvet Photo paper,Satern Canvas.

We use original micro-chrome ink guarantied to make our photo prints last for 80 years.

(2) Our printers are colour calibrated more regularly with colorimetric calibration.

(3) We understand how to match the colour space or Icc Profiles of your camera to our printers.

Why is Icc Profile important?

Wrong profile matching means: Instead of 750 shades from your camera you could get only 600 shades on a printer so printer will automatically default to darker shade value.

Here is an e.g.: Your camera chose a Red pixel dot value 249. Now the Shopping mall printer will print a shade value of 200 onto your photo and you get dark shadows with no detail.This you will notice by dark areas around the subject's eyes on the photo..

 

What is not included?

If you want more than the promotional free prints we can arrange for you from our Lab.

These are still good prices but valid un till 1October 2009.

R20 for A4 (or 2 times A5)

R35 for 2 times A4
R35 for A3
R70 for A2
R150 for A1 Poster

We generally make the images available to you after we have put them through post processing. This may be within a few hours, or up to a few days after the shoot depending on how much you want us to edit and enhance. (post processing can take about 15min to 2 hours per shot, we do not process everything we shoot only the cream of the crop).

Do I get a CD ?

Yes you get a Cd but as mentioned above, only images that went thru post processing will be put on the CD for free.

 

Can I print the CD at another Shopping mall Photo lab instead of at InFocus Studio Lab ?

As mentioned above my camera (D300 has higher standards and will not mach the profile of shopping-mall Photo Lab's.

In America it is illegal for Photo Shops to print work from another Studio unless they are contracted.

From your PC you can view your CD images but you will not have printing rights.

Can i upload my CD images to Facebook ?

Yes on your CD you will have two folders:

1) Photos: For your quality Photo's

2) For _Web: with your images we provide additional web based 200meg compressed JPG so you can upload them comfortably.

What if I loose my CD ?

Not to worry, we always keep a backup copy in our Studio Lab for all our customers.

Please Note:

We do not release any un-edited images (either to you, or for sale). The images markets our work, and we would like them to be in the best possible condition when the general public sees them (either in your portfolio, or in our online galleries)
Please also note that we own the copyright on all the images shot.
