A Few Notes On Enlargements:
To Set Up Your Order
- Cut negatives into strips of 4 frames (unless they are already cut.)
- Use one envelope for each negative strip. On the outside of the envelope
write the frame number, the size(s), and quantities required for each frame
on the strip. Also, indicate any special instructions such as texturing or
mounting.
- We offer digital printing of 35mm color slides on all sizes from 4"x 6" through 20"x
30". When sending a color print, please order a copy negative or a duplicate digital
copy.
Giclée Fine Art Prints:
Giclée prints (pronounced zhe-clay) are the latest rage in the art world.
They are being displayed as art reproductions by both museums and galleries. Now, they
are available to you from your negatives, slides or digital files. The beauty of Giclée
lies in its rich, pigmented dyes which are microscopically sprayed onto attractive media
ranging from poster paper to canvas.
Cropping:
Some of the picture area of 35mm negatives will be cropped out (not show)
on the "standard" enlarging sizes of 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20,
and 20 x 24. That's because the length of the "long," rectangular 35mm
frame does not exactly match the "shorter" length of the standard sizes that
have traditionally been the "normal" enlarging...and picture frame... sizes.
If you want the "full" picture image from 35mm, we'd suggest ordering one of
the "full frame" sizes; 5 x 7, 8 x 12, 14 x 20, or 20 x 30. While these sizes
will crop a small amount of the picture they will show most of the picture and
are often the best choice for wide angle scenics and group shots.
Cropping on Advanced Photo System frames will be determined by the crop you
chose in your camera when you took the picture or by the format (C, H, or P)
that you request us to print.
Texturing and Dry-Mounting: Print texturing and/or flush dry mounting
add that extra professional touch that makes good enlargements look even
better. Two textures are available. The canvas texture is ideal for portraits
and strong scenics. The lighter, linen texture highlights softly-lit portraits,
flowers or subtle motifs. To order, write "canvas" or "linen" on your negative
envelope. To avoid confusion, we request that only one texture type be
requested per order.
Flush mounting enhances and protects your enlargements. Your enlargement is
bonded with a permanent adhesive on a sturdy art board. To order, write
"mount" on the negative envelope.
