Photo Manipulation / Color Correction. Digital photo manipulation has become a normal part of pre-press operation. Sometimes the color just isn't what you want. Sometimes the shot is great but the exposure is off. Sometimes there is someone or something in the image that needs to be removed. Sometimes you need someone or something composited in.

Stock photography is becoming more and more necessary as budgets shrink, but think about what it really is. Stock photography is usually the 'B' shots that were rejected by the original cllient and are then sold into stock. Occasionally they are a perfect fit but not always. I can tweak a stock photo into perfect alignment, just as if it was made for your campaign. You'll still save thousands of dollars over a photo shoot and have the image tailored just for you.

How it works. Call me and I will set up a private FTP for you to send the images directly to me. You can also send me your images via Next Day Air on CD-R or DVD-R. I will edit them to your specifications and either post them to the FTP or Next Day Air them back to you on CD-R or DVD-R.

Rates. I know how important staying on budget is, it is the make or break element of every job. Project rates are available on a per job basis. If you have a lot of images that need to be manipulated please get in touch with me for a batch quote. The lower cost of living in the Spokane Metro area allows me to offer big city quality at small town prices.

Here's a list of some of the things I often do: Removing people, removing objects, adding people, adding objects, fixing teeth, smoothing hands, facial edits, body edits, fixing color castes, fixing exposure problems, changing what people are holding, de-branding a scene, re-branding an object, conforming stock photography, batch resizing, batch multi-sizing, batch web-ready, batch catalog ready, multi-image compositing.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. Please feel free to call me to discuss your project and discover the ways I can be of service. Whether you have one image that needs some work, or several hundred that need to be prepped for a major campaign, I can help you. When it absolutely has to be right, you can count on me.
