More information on colour correcting
This is where AtkinsTechnicolour really excels. Digital cameras and scanners do not know what good colour is! Only humans can judge this. Most digital labs simply run-out your files as they are presented, but we offer a second level of service where our skilled operators optimise your file for printing.
With operators having 30+ years of experience in assessing colour, we will always get the best from your digital files. We offer two levels of colour correction, first proof quality (Colour correct proof service), where 20 or more images are ‘tuned up’ to a professional proof standard, secondly we offer print colour correction, where each image is carefully adjusted to get the best from the file. Beyond colour correction, we offer a full range of retouching services.
If you are keen to get on with colour correcting files yourself, then you may find this “shirley” file helpful, “shirley” will remind you what good skin tone looks like, we print her daily, and refer to her whenever colour correcting. Don’t use her to balance your monitor, that is a job for a colorimeter, only use her as a guide to good colour. Also, keep her locked so you can’t accidentally change her colour.
