Technical recommendations: prepare your files

* It is essential to incorporate an ICC color profile to each image. The profile associated with the image depends on the source of it (scanner, digital camera, SLR ...). Adobe98 and Prophoto are mentioned only as examples.

For example, if your original file is a RAW, it is advisable to register it with a ProPhoto ICC profile. This will preserve the color and gradient quality of the original RAW file.

2. Dimensions in cm of your image files JPG or TIF format must be exactly your final draft.

For example, if you wish to order a print of 30x45 cm, it will be necessary in your editing software to resize your file to 30x45 cm (Photoshop> Image> Image Size> Document Size).

If necessary, do not forget to include possible margins, but more importantly, without exceeding the final format of the drawing (30x45 cm in our example).
