Image Quality

Only professional-level equipment is used to create and post-process Photo Japan images.  Digital images are captured in RAW format using pro-level cameras with sensors of six megapixels or greater.  Color transparencies are scanned at 300 dpi, 8-bits per color channel and 4.2 dynamic range in TIFF format output.

In the digital darkroom, RAW and DNG files are converted to TIFF images using the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in software.  Images are individually checked for dust and scratches, exposure, contrast, focus, noise, level horizons, lens distortion and color.  As a general rule no sharpening is applied.  JPEG images are saved in Photoshop at the highest quality setting (12) resulting in the largest file size.

See Photo Technical Information for more details. 

   
Our Guarantee

We stand behind our product and offer a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.  If for some reason the quality of the image does not meet your expectations, we will take every measure to correct the issue by rescanning and/or reprocessing the file until you are completely satisfied.
