All images at this website are presented with a cypyright label in the bottom corner. This label is removed in the final grapic file prepared for production of Art Work. In other words the label is only for presentation on the web and not in the Art Work.

Images presented at the web are downscaled for these purposes and for easy navigation when viewing online content. Normally files scale to 800 px on the long axis and jpeg compression from 100% to around 75-80% on our website.

Our raw files stay as is when leaving the camera and post processing is applied in the same high resolution before final XXL size files are available for production. All files are viewed at full size for pixelation and colour rendering before print.

If a raw file is crop'ed extensively the Art Work of that particular image is limited in it's final dimensions. Other reasons for smaller Art Work is to fit it within a mosaic of collected works or simply in respect to the image itself and what is displayed.
