Color Correction or Color Adjustment Service Explained

Your computer doesn’t actually store images. Instead, it stores a set of instructions for re-creating the photograph. In order to do so, it uses a box of millions of crayons — one for virtually every imaginable color. The image files tell your computer where to color with which crayon.

Many images, especially amateur photographs, don’t take advantage of the full range of crayons. Instead of having the brightest parts of the photo be the brightest white and the darkest the blackest black, these images often use a dull grey for ‘white’ and a slightly darker grey for ‘black.’ The result is a dull, confusing image that’s messy and difficult to read.

We are here to help. Our color matching service carefully examines the colors that are used in creating your photo. Our team of trained professional photo retouchers will assess the tonal content of your project and make any necessary color adjustment. We can help restore any missing dynamic range and lend your image a full range of colors. While we do this, we’re careful to preserve the mood of the photo and paint your subjects in the best light possible. We can fix poor lighting, exposure and any tints that have worked their way into your picture. We’re also happy to perform whatever subtle edits are necessary to really help your photo pop.
