FAQ
We are in quite a hurry for this I would need the image by tomorrow at the latest - No problem, once you have selected an image and we have agreed terms, a high resolution file can be on your computer within an hour. The downloaded jpeg file will be between 1Mb and 10Mbs and produce a Tiff around 18Mb or 60Mb. If the image is a 300 dpi drum scan it has been drum scanned to roughly 19 inches by 12 inches and can be downloaded immediately. The A3 drum scan jpeg file can vary between 7 and 14Mb and produces a 60Mb Tiff file image. If you want an image that has not been scanned or a larger file than the one available then an extra scanning and e transfer charge can be levied. The A5 scan would take an extra hour to delivery where the A3 would take up to a week but has being delivered within two working days.
Do you sell Royal Free (RF) images? - No all my images are licenced giving me control over the images I sell so I can protect my customers and provide a quality service.
Can you give us some kind of idea of price for the use of any of your photos? - Prices vary greatly depend on the images usage. I need to know at least the following:
What is the largest size you can produce with the 60Mb Tiff 300 dpi drum scan? - This size of file can be interpolated and has produced top quality work up to 3 metres long but I can get larger files on request. My original 6cm by 4.5cm transparancy can produce larger Tiff drum scans and I have previously electronically transferred a 200Mb Tiff (20Mb jpeg) to a customer.
My email system can not handle large files - I normally send an email with an URL to the image you have selected. You or your designer/printer then can click on the images URL when it suits you to download the image onto you computer at your convenience.
Can you tell me the cost of a print? - My price structure can be found at the following web page Print Prices
Do you supply a framed version? - No the cost of a frame would add too much postage and would be at risk of being damaged. The print is well protected and sent directly from my printer to your address to keep handling of the package to a minimum.
How do I pay for a print? - If you are in the thumbnail photograph pages, note the thumbnail number and click the "Buy a Print" in the menu tab. This will take you to my secure server Buy a Print form. so you can pass your debit or credit card and postal details. If you prefer to send a cheque fill the debit card details boxes with xxxx's and put in the comment box that you are sending a cheque for that amount.
What is the largest size of print available? - A 40 inches by 30 inches is the largest print to be turned around within two days.
How is the photo quality? - Top quality, the print is on Fuji photographic paper and printed by a professional printer with years of experiences in producing photographic prints for professional photographers.
Can you tell me what the price would be in US dollars? - I only deal with UK currency at the moment and my credit card facility is also calculated in GB pounds but you can get a rough idea of the price by using the US dollar calculator at www.xe.com
