B&W prints now in bordered prints

Here’s the start of the roll out of new products.

In the BORDERED tab - all the prints now have the ability to change the size of the border - the colour of the border - the colour of the keyline round the photo (to make it disappear just make it the same as the background).

You can also change the image to B&W - but wait - there’s more!

You can select B&W, Cool B&W, Warm B&W, Mild Sepia and Strong Sepia.

With the BORDERED tab you’ll find a new selection box at the bottom left - and this can be resized to show all the options by clicking and dragging on the “dots” between the sections.

There are 32 colour to choose for the Paper, 32 for the keyline, the 5 B&W and Sepia options plus how it was sent - and with 1.5”, 1’, 0.75”, 0.5”, 0.25” and no borders you get hundreds or even thousands of possible combinations.... though good taste should reduce this number!!

How good is your colour vision?

OK - so you’ve calibrated your monitor (you have, haven’t you) and you are looking at your prints with a daylight source (have you!!).Have you checked the most important tool?Your eyes!

Watch your file names!

FilenamesJust watch what you call your files - as the filename is printed on the reverse - motheringlawfromhell.jpg is not a good name - even if she is.... as is bride_touched_up.jpg
