Omnilargess Services and Raw Digital Image Editing wish all of you a happy,
healthy and prosperous new year.
New services
We are excited to unveil our new services, designed to free up more of your valuable time. For detailed instructions and an opportunity to experience these new services, please visit our website at:
www.rawdigitalimageediting.com
Rough Editing:
Send us all your images and we’ll rate them according to exposure, composition, sharpness, subject, etc. Your files will be returned to you divided in different folders with ratings of five star, four star, three star, two star, and one star.
You can submit Raw or jpeg images by uploading them to our web site or send them to us on CD/DVD. For quickest turn around time, we recommend you upload small size
jpeg images to our web site.
Whichever way you choose to get the files to us, we’ll quickly get to work on the task
of rough editing and return images to you that are organized and rated.
This time saving service is only $0.10 per image.
Noise Reduction:
Once in a while we get noisy images! Correcting this can be one of the most time consuming processing tasks.
Send us your noisy images and our trained staff and state of the art software will take care of the noise for you, improving the quality of your images so you don’t have that digitalized plastic, Barbie look…
For the best results send us Tiff files or large Jpegs. The cost is only $0.50 per image.
Please note: if you are using our RAW editing service, add the cost of the noise reduction to the total cost of your order.
Dust Removal:
Have you had the painful experience of opening images on your computer to
find evidence of dust in places that it shouldn’t be? Don’t worry - we can remove it for you. The price for this service is only $0.30 per picture.
Please note: if you are using our RAW editing service, remember to advise us and add the Dust Removal service to the total cost of your order.
Jpeg Editing:
Jpeg editing is another time consuming task that we can take off your hands.
We’ll edit these files for color correction, brightness, contrast, do level adjustments
for highlight, shadow and sharpness, and straighten the horizon.
The cost for this service is $1.25 per image.
Optimum Editing package:
This service is available only for RAW files and is the best value for your money.How does it work and what’s included?
Send us all the photos of one event with instructions about how many final images
you want. For example:
You have 800 images from a wedding and want 200 photos for your client.
Send us all 800, but you only pay for 200 images.
We’ll rough edit the 800 photos and select the best 200 for you.
Then we’ll edit and fine tune the best 200 RAW files and, if necessary, pass them through Noise reduction and Dust removal software.
Your final images are ready for presentation to your client.
The cost is $1.10 per image and turn around time is 4 to 6 business days.
Album pages:
We’ll design and create custom album pages for you. We can also add your business name and logo to the pages to ensure your copyright of the pages. You’ll receive the file in Jpeg or PDF ready for printing, web gallery or slide presentation.
The cost is $14.99 per page (up to four images per page) and turn around time is 10 to 14 business days.
Please note: if you send RAW files, add the cost of raw editing to the total order.
Now let’s get to the Tip of the Month.
We all know that calibrating our monitor and printer is very important. Although there are several different software and hardware available for these tasks, I’m going to discuss a few simple, basic steps for getting better results from your monitor.1-If you use a Mac, your display (monitor) is probably not very far off. If you want to fine tune the monitor, go to System Preferences and click Display. Select the Color tab, click on Calibrate button, and follow the on-screen guide. Remember to select the daylight color temperature (5000 Kelvin) in Target White Point. If you follow the on-screen instructions and adjust the White point and Black point you will have a reasonable output.
2-For Windows users it is a bit more complicated! Fortunately Adobe Photoshop makes it a little easier. If you have Adobe Photoshop 7, CS, or CS2 (Elements 2, 3, 4, and 5 as well), go to Control Panel and open ADOBE GAMA. Select the Advanced mode and follow the Wizard instructions. For color temperature, select daylight (5000 Kelvin). You will now have a reasonably calibrated monitor.
3-To test how accurate your calibration is, print a picture and compare the color with your monitor.
That’s all for this month. If you have questions or suggestions please feel free to contact our Support team.
Next month I will discuss how to use Photoshop’s color profile to check the prints before printing them.
I look forward to working with you in 2008,
