№ 05 · The process

Eight steps between your phone and your wall.

01

Image intake

You upload JPG or PNG up to 20MB here. For HEIC, TIFF, RAW, PSD, older prints, or larger originals, we'll arrange WhatsApp or transfer-link intake.

The craft
Resolution check · Composition crop · Color cast assessment
02

Editor review

A human editor — not a script — opens your file at full resolution. We tell you the largest size that will hold, and recommend a frame direction.

The craft
Sharpness audit · Tone curve · Skin balancing if portraiture
03

Digital proof

You receive a soft proof — color-managed PDF showing the final print at scale, mat width, and frame profile. We don't print until you approve.

The craft
Soft-proofed against the chosen paper's ICC profile
