How do I order Custom services?
Once you upload your images, be sure to write any notes and Custom requests you have in the provided text and/or visual notes boxes. After you check out, we'll review your notes and price out any Custom services you've requested, and you'll have the opportunity to purchase the options you'd like. Remember, every image gets Pro Standard service. Custom requests are additional services.
How do I pick up my images?
Entirely via our website. When your order is complete, it will be uploaded to your account, where you can view your retouched images, approve them, and download the final versions.
The colors look different on my computer and on my physical images. Why?
Colors display differently on every monitor and when printed from every printer. While the difference may not be apparent to the naked eye, for absolutely precise control over every color, consult your printer.
Note that standard image viewers, such as Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, can distort the colors of photos. Viewing headshots in a dedicated picture viewer, such as Photoshop, will show you images with their true colors.
