Quality Standard, Final Prints

All album print products will be color corrected by our employees on our own equipment. Our quality standard target is measured by five guidelines:

3. Whites are clean with no overall color cast
4. The image has no overall color bias (this does not apply to color balance for lighting conditions)
5. Flesh tones are believable.

Because lighting conditions and movement provide constant challenges, we cannot guarantee the quality of any image.
