Your original photo file is returned to you unaltered. For photos to be used on a web site built by VI WebDesigns, there is no charge for photos that you provide that are already "web ready" - that is, you have edited the photo, sized it to the width and height you want on the web page, it is in JPEG or GIF file format (please, no TIFF, BMP, PSD, SVG, PNG, MNG, or other formats for use on a web site), and compressed to the file size that you want..
Editing for print use - $35 per hour, minimum of 1/2 hour, and no setup fee. Fractional hours are rounded up to the next 15 minutes. Editing includes resizing, cropping, color correction, and retouching, but we take additional care on the details of each photo, making the photo look as good as possible, while retaining the high quality needed for printing. Best results are obtained from an original TIFF or other similar lossless formats. Your original file is returned to you unaltered.
Important note: Editing one image can be as short as a few minutes to as long as an hour or more, depending on what needs to be done to the image.
All editing services include giving you your edited photos on as many CD-R or DVD+/-R disks (please specify) as needed to hold all your photos.
Quality work takes time and close attention to detail, particularly with image editing. The more detail to be edited, the longer it takes - it cannot be rushed.
Doing image editing includes resizing, cropping, renaming, adjusting color and "levels" as needed, making "full size" and "thumbnail size" images, etc.
Every shoot and setup is different. We realize time is your money, so we work as quickly as possible, consistent with obtaining high quality results. But, in many cases, it is just not possible to accurately calculate the time involved for shooting or editing. Therefore, our estimate is just that, an estimate
