We have a 'processing' charge that covers preparation of images after capture. This varies with the type of work (and quantity) undertaken.

Please note that as part of our quality control procedures, we will only supply images in CMYK formats upon receipt of precise ICC profiles and/or conversion details, along with a written specification of the conversion requirements (Note there may be a charge for some CMYK image conversion work).

Additional specialist image manipulation (Photoshop) is by prior arrangement and depends on the type of work undertaken.
