Email confirmation

At last - we have email confirmations automatically being sent out.

For the meantime you may not receive these for a few hours - particulary if sent late night - and weekend ones might not come until Monday (this is the next hurdle to overcome!)

It will show your job number - and the lab reference which will also be added to the back of your prints too. It will also list everything ordered and the full lab price.

If you’d like anything else to show, let us know!

iMac too Bright?

We’ve been speaking with a number of people who can’t get their Mac’s screen dull enough to profile correctly.

There’s a couple of programs about to get round this - Shades is a free one from a UK company.

Photos in Strut Mounts

Playgroup leaving groups

Here’s a great twist on the boring class group photos - and easier to do as there are less people to photograph at once.
Just use a background with no real design - like a muslin or white - photograph small groups - the one above is made of three images - and we can stich these together to make one long interesting photo!
Prices vary - but one like above with three images and a logo would cost you £15-£20 depending on quantity - and then your prints are at our usual lab rates - we sell these ourselves without mounts for £12 - much better than the usual £7 for a 10x8 in a mount. We also offer these to nurseries as a gift for the leaving children - and sell 100% at a lower cost - with no commission.... but then offer packs of individuals taken at the same time....
