Your own photographic library
Now you can build an in-house photographic library of scanned images ready for immediate
use. PHOTOBACKINGS 100 Volume One is the first of a series for PC and Apple Macintosh
computers with CD-ROM drives. Copyright free
These new photographs have been created specifically for designers, on fine grain
transparency film, by international award winning photographer John Cohen.
All 100 colour correct digital background photographs are copyright-free to manipulate,
reproduce or publish (up to 10,000) straight off the disc.
Very high resolution
The resolution is high enough for publication up to A4 bleed size (297 x 420mm) with no
loss of definition. Five file sizes (up to 18 meg.) of every photograph are
available.
Comparative value
PHOTOBACKINGS 100 when originally priced at £174 plus VAT provided 100 photographs for
the price of just one from a photo library. To look at it another way, you
gained 99 free photos, as soon as you've used just one picture!
Exceptional quality
By using the same original transparency film, found best to match the scanning software,
for all of the photographs (no duplicates) - the highest quality has been achieved.
Many Photo CD images lack this exceptional quality because the films
have not been scanned with the software programme best suited to the film brand. |
Other
discs may be disappointing because of poor photography, choice of film or subject matter.
As a guide, all the pictures in the booklet were printed from colour
separations made directly from the disc, not from the original transparencies.
Note also that the cover pictures were reproduced from only small parts of
these photographs.
Publication exposure
The 10,000 run limit is not just to negotiate an extra fee (indeed there might not be any
charge) but to ensure that the information will be available to future users regarding:-
- (a) The types of use to date.
- (b) The volume and type of exposure of any particular photograph.
Colour control
Unlike other discs, PHOTOBACKINGS 100 has a colour density card which was photographed
with the same film and scanned to disc at the same time (picture number 101) as all the
other 100 background photographs, which provides very accurate colour balance control.
Feedback
Always welcome and encouraged.
Designers have been very impressed with the pictures on this disc. Market
research shows that most designers found more than one use within the first month of
ownership.
Two purchasers admit they changed their original ideas because of this
disc - evidence of how such an interesting selection of background photographs can even
prove quite inspiring! |
