So you are left with two options:
Build a relationship with HS Photo and let our professionals handle your color correction for you – OR – work with us to get your monitor calibrated so that you can see as closely as possible the color gamut that our printers produce. Either way you go, we can help BREAK THE CHAIN that keeps you tied to the computer for hours on end.

     Naturally we all tend to lean one way or the other in creating our style of imagery. Some of us like a "warm" saturated image, others lean more toward a "colder" muted color preference. However, there are industry standard guides that we use when color correcting your images. These guides have been created to provide a neutral print with regards to overall color, skin tone, brightness, and contrast. When your images are sent to HS Photo they are individually adjusted to this standard. We also look at the group of images as a whole, to provide consistency throughout your order.

Guide Prints

     If you have developed a style and a look that is uniquely yours and it varies from this “neutral standard”, then we are more than happy to work with you to produce guide prints. These guides will then be kept as a reference when your particular orders come in for processing. This allows us to adjust your images the way you want them to look. It may be that you like your images cooler, warmer, darker, lighter, or with more or less contrast and saturation than the next person. So, if you like the thought of allowing us to handle all the color correction for you, but really want to have a little more say in the final result, then give us a call today. Let’s start talking about what you are looking for and work on getting these guides established for your personal account.

Studio Corrected Prints

We realize that photographers are also artists, and some artists want to have complete control over the creative process. This includes taking the time to tweak every aspect of the image to create their masterpiece. Once the final image has been created you really don’t want anyone else to touch it – and we offer a solution for you at HS Photo. Studio Corrected Prints can be ordered through HS ProDigital (ROES) which are lower in price and will not be adjusted  before output to a printer. If this sounds great to you then please make sure you give us the opportunity to work with you on calibration, color management, and test prints before taking the leap (SEE COLOR MANAGEMENT in the Resource Center link). By ordering this way you are taking complete responsibility for the final look of the print, and are no longer eligible for remakes based on color.
