Digital Capture


Digital Capture

Our exceptional digital capture services ensure the quality and integrity of your original artwork. Our system, a 4"x5" large-format camera with a BetterLight Super8K scanback, detects every subtlety and nuance of your original art. This process gathers meticulous detail in color, clarity and texture. Each original is custom lit resulting in an incredibly high-resolution capture which enables us to reproduce your artwork without the typical degradation associated with generational loss.

We use equipment that is different from most single-shot digital cameras. Our camera's shutter remains open for 12-15 minutes capturing uninterpolated RGB (red, green and blue) data in one single pass. Compared to a 35mm or 2.25" medium-format sensor, our large-format 4"x5" sensor area captures up to 384-megapixels! For art reproduction, it's unrivaled.

Our capture service includes color correction and light balancing. You will receive files in three sizes; a full-resolution TIFF (lossless format), a medium-resolution JPEG (for most print applications) and a low-resolution JPEG (for email and your website). Once captured, we'll add the image to your image library on our site, making it easy for you to order prints in the future.
