Digital Retoucing
LightSource will work with you one-on-one on–screen if you’re local, or on the phone if you’re not, to ensure you get the results you want. If you need “system time”, our term for image manipulation time in Photoshop, to enhance your LightSource scan or your file for printing, we charge at a rate of $100/hr in quarter hour increments.
Making a Test Print is a Good Idea
We recommend you request a 8×10 test print for any print job you have done at LightSource over 11X14. ($10 extra). Alternatively, we can do a strip test that will yield a good cross section of the print. This way you can see what the full size print will look like in a long narrow strip. Read more
